Eclipse Press' #1 Bestseller! In its 8th printing!

Horse lovers will relish this celebration of horse racing's top Thoroughbreds. Starting with "Horse of the Century" Man o' War, Thoroughbred Champions presents the racing and breeding careers of the 20th century's greatest racehorses, as recounted by veteran Turf writers. At No. 2 is Secretariat, known for his astounding 31-length triumph in the 1973 Belmont Stakes to win the Triple Crown, and at No. 3 is Citation, the 1948 Triple Crown winner for famed Calumet Farm. Among the greats profiled in this volume are Seattle Slew (#9), Cigar (#18), Phar Lap (#22), Seabiscuit (#25), and Ruffian (#35). Thoroughbred Champions is the ultimate historical reference for any racing fan.

A panel of experts, including racing secretaries Howard Battle and Pete Pederson, and Sports Illustrated writer Bill Nack, selected the 100 best colts and fillies of the century, basing their evaluations on the horses' overall records, running times, and competitors faced. Each horse's profile includes a five-cross pedigree and race record.
