Popular 1950s racehorse Nashua achieved fame both on and off the racetrack. On the track, he set the racing world abuzz with his charismatic nature and his nationally televised rivalry with Kentucky Derby winner Swaps. 

Off the track, Nashua was caught up in the aftermath of the shooting of his owner, society figure William Woodward Jr. As a result, Nashua became the most expensive horse to be sold at auction up to that time. Author Edward L. Bowen deftly weaves these elements together to create an intimate portrait of a beloved racehorse. He also wrote the first title in the Thoroughbred Legends series, Man o' War.
