-Fabricante :
St. Martins Griffin
-Descripcion Original:
For anybody who loves horses, and for all of those who are thrilled by horse racing and the behind-the-scenes drama of the track, The Horse That God Built is must reading.--Michael Korda, author of Horse PeopleMost of us know the legend of Secretariat, the tall, handsome chestnut racehorse whose string of honors runs long and rich: the only two-year-old ever to win Horse of the Year, in 1972; winner in 1973 of the Triple Crown, his times in all three races still unsurpassed; featured on the cover of Time, Newsweek, and Sports Illustrated; the only horse listed on ESPNs top fifty athletes of the twentieth century (ahead of Mickey Mantle). His final race at Torontos Woodbine Racetrack is a touchstone memory for horse lovers everywhere. Yet while Secretariat will be remembered forever, one man, Eddie Shorty Sweat, who was pivotal to the great horses success, has been all but forgotten---until now. In The Horse God Built, bestselling equestrian writer Lawrence Scanlan has written a tribute to an exceptional man that is also a backroads journey to a corner of the racing world rarely visited. As a young black man growing up in South Carolina, Eddie Sweat struggled at several occupations before settling on the job he was born for---groom to North Americas finest racehorses. As Secretariats groom, loyal friend, and protector, Eddie understood the horse far better than anyone else. A wildly generous man who could read a horse with his eyes, he shared in little of the financial success or glamour of Secretariats wins on the track, but won the heart of Big Red with his soft words and relentless devotion.In Scanlans rich narrative, we get a grooms-eye view of the racing world and the vantage of a man who spent every possible moment with the horse he loved, yet who often basked in the horses glory from the sidelines. More than anything else, The Horse God Built is a moving portrait of the powerful bond between human and horse.Praise for The Horse God Built:Scanlans scope is encyclopedic… --Publishers WeeklyThe authors tribute is heartfelt...--Kirkus...detailed in all its equine awesomeness.--Maxim...will satisfy those who cant get enough of Secretariat.--The New York Times…an informative read that hardboots and novices alike can enjoy. --The Lexington Herald Leader (Kentucky)Eddie Sweats story represents the last great untold chapter in the Secretariat saga. Larry Scanlan has honoured both groom and horse by giving it to us at last.--John Jeremiah Sullivan, author of Blood Horses: Notes of a Sportswriters SonThis well-researched book is a must for readers who are fans of the horse, but if you just want a good read, youre going to love this animal/human interest story.--Monty Roberts, author of The Man Who Listens to Horses Review “Scanlan is a compassionate reporter ... the author is an amiable companion on the road.” Bill Barich , The New York Times“...this volume bulges with insight into and sensitivity toward the world of Thoroughbred horse racing.... Scanlans scope is encyclopedic.” Publishers Weekly“The authors tribute is heartfelt, and Sweat is a worthy subject.” Kirkus Reviews“Scanlan makes a convincing case.” Booklist From the Inside Flap He was the perfect horse, it was said, the horse God built.
