I know almost nothing about horse-racing. I had a bit of first-hand experience through a distant relative years ago, but in the big scheme of things, I know nothing about the sport.
Our middle granddaughter gave me this book for my birthday last month. I'm finally getting around to reading it.
Lexington: The Extraordinary Life And Turbulent Timmes of America's Legendary Racehorse, Kim Wwickens, c. 2023
Highly recommended for anyone who has a passing interest in horse racing but knows nothing about the sport.
Like all books like this, the bigger story -- the history of horse racing -- is carried on the back of a lesser story, the story of a most-remarkable horse, and perhaps, even more so, the most remarkable man who discovered Darley, renamed him, and the rest is history.
