Published by Eclipse Press, Blood-Horse Publications ABOUT THE BOOKS: Man o’ War – Racehorse of the Century “Man o’ War wins again! The dramatic brilliance of the Horse of the Century comes alive in the spell-binding words of the gifted Ed Bowen.” Joe Hirsch, Daily Racing Form The life and times of the legendary racehorse, ranked by The Blood Horse and other polls as the Horse of the Century and hailed by many as one of the greatest sports heroes of all time, are chronicled in this masterful biography. Edward L. Bowen brings “Big Red” to life, with a fresh look at the exploits that defined and colored the sport of horse racing forever. Man o’ War contains many rare historical photographs as well as extensive pedigree and race-record information that offers insight into why this Thoroughbred legend fascinates more than six decades after his death. Includes 16 pages of photographs !! SEATTLE SLEW – Racing’s Only Undefeated Triple Crown Winner “Seattle Slew’s achievements make for a sparkling dialogue.” Julian Muscat, Pacemaker “I have a lot of respect for ‘Slew’. What a racehorse he was!” Angel Cordero, Jr., Hall of Fame Jockey Seattle Slew rose to the ranks of sports celebrity with his sweep of the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont Stakes in 1977. Together with his youthful owners, he typified the spirit of the era. Today he remains the only horse to win the Triple Crown while undefeated. Author Dan Mearns, a longtime racing journalist and editor, explores the life of this magnificent animal who proved a horse could come from a “blue-collar” background and still make it to the pinnacle of the racing world. And Seattle Slew took a whole generation of devoted fans along for the ride. Includes 16 pages of photographs !! AFFIRMED & ALYDAR – Racing’s Greatest Rivalry “… highly enjoyable duo-biography.” Washington Thoroughbred “Timothy Capps has written a richly detailed, comprehensive account of the two horses … that clearly demonstrates the greatness of each horse on his own merits.” St. Paul Pioneer Press During the triple Crown season of 1978, two chestnut colts captured the public’s imagination like no rivals before or since. Affirmed and Alydar battled head to head in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont Stakes. Affirmed claimed the Triple Crown, but Alydar tested him to the limits each time. To tell one’s story is to tell the other’s, so closely intertwined are the lives of Affirmed and Alydar, Author Timothy T. Capps, who witnessed many of the Affirmed-Alydar races, chronicles the early years, first encounters, and epic clashes of these two titans of horse racing. Includes 16 pages of photographs !! SUNDAY SILENCE – Racing’s Hard Luck Hero “He’s much the best horse I’ve trained.” Trainer Charlie Whittingham Homely, sick, and bad-tempered, Sunday Silence started life with the odds stacked against him. Rejected in the auction ring and nearly killed in a van accident, the skinny black colt seemed destined for failure. But in the skillful hands of Hall of Fame trainer Charlie Whittingham Sunday Silence showed his resiliency on the racetrack. In his championship season at age three, Sunday Silence won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes then vanquished rival Easy Goer in a superb edition of the Breeders’ Cup Classic. Includes 16 pages of photographs !!
