Beschreibung
As new condition beige boards with a red cloth spine and gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Introduction; Appendix; Photo Credits; and About the Author. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. Signed by the author with black pen at the center of the half title page. Matriarchs Volume II: More Great Mares of Modern Times features all-new profiles of twenty-two great mares that have had a profound impact on American Thoroughbred racing. They reange from Nellie Flag, the 1930s Calumet Farm champion and foundation broodmare to Exclusive, whose son Exclusive Native sired two Kentucky Derby winners, including the most recent Triple Crown winner, and Hasili, Juddmonte Farm's twenty-first century blue hen whose first six foals have all won graded stakes. Other prominent mares explored are Bold Irish, the granddam of Ruffian, and Personal Ensign, the undefeated champion whose victory in a Breeders' Cup race was emulated by a daughter and granddaughter. These matriarchs have exerted a worldwide influence which in many cases continues today. Their descendents include champions and classic winners in the major racing countries, among them Kentucky Derby winners FUnny Cide and Fusaichi Pegasus and Belmont Stakes winner Empire Maker. WHile some of the mares profiled in this volume had little success on the racetrack, others excelled, such as Gallorette, the rugged champion handicap mare who defeated males in such signature races as the Metropolitan and Carter handicaps. However their racing performances might have differed, the twenty-two matriarchs share the common achievement of producing top-quality racehorses over generations." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
