Seller's Description

THE KENTUCKY DERBY
The First 100 Years by Peter Chew

HARDBACK BOOK - 1974 first edition - WITH DUST JACKET

The Kentucky Derby is America's greatest horse race.  Nearly every breeder, owner, trainer and jockey in the country would rather win this one race than all the others combined.  The Derby ranks in glamour and prestige with the World Series, the Davis Cup and the Super Bowl.
Derby history teems with excitement, humour, pathos and delightful shmaltz. Colonel E R Bradley offered to bet his home, his land and his horses on the 1926 Derby; Plain Ben Jones trained five of Calumet Farms' eight Derby winners and liked nothing more than a good fist fight; John E Madden, the most successful horse trader since David Harum, bred five winners of the classic; Isaac Murphy, the gentle black jockey, liked to frighten owners by winning close races. Glorious thoroughbred - ARTISTIDES, OLD ROSEBUD, EXTERMINATOR, BLACK GOLD, COUNT FLEET, WHIRLAWAY, CITATION, CANONERO II, SECRETARIAT - and famous jockeys such as EARL SANDE, EDDIE ARCARO, WILLIE SHOEMAKER and BILL HARTACK have all contributed to the Derby's enduring legend.
Illustrated with scores of nostalgic and dramatic photographs, this book is a fascinating commemorative volume of one hundred years of Kentucky Derby history.

Good condition, a couple of tears to the dust jacket only (see scan).
