Round Table : Thoroughbred Legends
John McEvoy

Pub Date: May 2002. Round Table, a racing icon of the 1950s, was a “blue-collar” hero who never disappointed his fans. A model of consistency, the amazingly durable Round Table raced 66 times, winning 43 times (31 in stakes) at distances from four furlongs to a mile and five-eighths, at 15 different tracks from one end of the U. S. to the other. He set three American records, equaled one world record, set 10 track records, and equaled another two. Those 16 record efforts are the most ever compiled by an American racehorse.

In addition, Round Table became the finest grass horse ever produced in this country, winning 14 of his 16 starts over that surface and setting or matching four records. Author John McEvoy, who witnessed some of Round Table’s exploits, follows the horse from birth to retirement and brings to life the many people who had a hand in his greatness.
