For those who saw the documentary on National Geographic, this will be an added incentive to read this book. One doesn't need to be a horse-fan or a racing fan or to know which end is which to find this an absorbing and unusual read. A 'document' both equine and human, giving a fascinating glimpse not only into a little-known world but into an important phase of American history, the Depression. Very exciting and informative.
