Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. First Edition. Gift quality first edition hardcover in pea green paper covered boards quarter-bound in brown cloth with bright gilt spine title. Spine ends bumped, tips still sharp. No names, tears or soil in the tight, crisp 375pp text. Original, un-clipped color illustrated dust wrapper shows light color loss at upper tips, a lightly sunned spine and some browning at ends of rear flap only. A real-life saga of high risks, stratospheric payoffs, and bitter ironies, played out against a background of the rise and fall of bluegrass dynasties. Both a grand celebration and a stunning expose' of the racing world, here is the remarkable story of a year in the life of a multimillion-dollar racehorse, a thoroughbred named Chief's Crown, beginning with his unveiling as a two-year-old during the August meeting at Saratoga and culminating with his last race in the fall of the following year. Carol Flake takes us behind the scenes and explores the multiple worlds and interests that revolve around racing. N° de réf. du vendeur 51328

Chief's Crown was an American-bred Thoroughbred race horse who won the 1984 Breeders' Cup Juvenile and was voted the Eclipse Award for Outstanding Two-Year-Old Male Horse. He later became a successful sire. Chief's Crown was a son of leading sire Danzig and Six Crowns, who was by Secretariat and out of the 1974 U.S. Filly Triple Crown winner Chris Evert. He was owned by the Star Crown Stable of the family of the late Carl Rosen, who had owned Chris Evert. They syndicated a half-interest in Chief's Crown to Three Chimneys Farm prior to his Breeders' Cup victory plus another quarter-interest to Claiborne Farm on his retirement. Chief's Crown is the only horse in history to lose all three U.S. Triple Crown races while being the betting favorite for each race. He finished 3rd to Spend A Buck in the Kentucky Derby, then in the Preakness Stakes set a record for the fastest first mile but finished a head behind Tank's Prospect. In the Belmont Stakes, Chief's Crown finished 3rd to Creme Fraiche. He came back later that year to win the Travers Stakes and the Marlboro Cup Invitational Handicap. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
