Product Description
Horse racing's Triple Crown is one of the most coveted, elusive and celebrated achievements in sports. Only 11 times since 1875 have horses won the prestigious Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes in the same season. This book is the definitive work on this rare coronation, delving into the history, personalities, subplots and tactics of each of the 11 Triple Crown champions. From Sir Barton in 1919 to Affirmed in 1978, each Triple Crown winner has exhibited a true personality and charisma befitting their stardom. The Most Glorious Crown reveals the personalities of the men behind the horses - the jockeys, trainers and owners - who crafted horse racing history.

Spelling Does Count December 30, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought the initial edition of this book in 1975 and at the time was totally perplexed. How could an author write an entire chapter about Count Fleet and misspell the last name of his jockey every time ("Longdon" instead of "Longden")? And how could an editor not catch this error when the chapter contains three copyrighted charts from Daily Racing Form that have the jockey's name spelled correctly. Flash forward three decades to a new edition of this same book and ... Longden's name is still misspelled every time. Didn't anyone in 30 years tell the author or publisher that the name was misspelled??? This belongs in another book -- "Believe it or Not."
