Through a treasure trove of evocative photographs, this remarkable book transports readers back in time to witness the triumphs and tribulations of the equine icons that have captured the hearts and imaginations of generations.
A Legacy of Excellence
Kentucky has played an integral role in the development of thoroughbred racing in America. In the early 18th century, English settlers brought their love of horse racing to the region, and the sport quickly took root in the fertile soil of Kentucky.
By the 19th century, Kentucky had become a major center for thoroughbred breeding and racing. The state's limestone-rich soil and rolling hills provided ideal conditions for raising healthy and athletic horses. And with its central location, Kentucky was well-positioned to host major races that attracted the best horses and riders from across the country.
Iconic Horses, Unforgettable Moments
'Kentucky Famous Racehorses' showcases a stunning array of photographs that capture the spirit and essence of these equine legends. From the legendary Man o' War, known as the "Big Red," to the incomparable Secretariat, who set a world record in the 1973 Belmont Stakes, the book brings these iconic steeds to life.
In addition to these larger-than-life figures, the book also features lesser-known horses that played pivotal roles in the development of Kentucky's racing industry. These include Lexington, the first American-bred horse to win the English Derby, and Keeneland, a legendary racehorse and the namesake of one of Kentucky's most prestigious racetracks.
A Visual History of the Sport
The photographs in 'Kentucky Famous Racehorses' not only capture the beauty and athleticism of these extraordinary animals but also provide a fascinating glimpse into the history of the sport. From the early days of racing in the Bluegrass State to the modern-day spectacles at Churchill Downs, the book offers a visual chronicle of the evolution of thoroughbred racing in Kentucky.
Whether you're a lifelong fan of horse racing or simply appreciate the beauty and grace of these majestic creatures, 'Kentucky Famous Racehorses: Images of America' is a must-have addition to your library.
