In Tales from the Triple Crown, award-winning racing writer Steve Haskin takes readers behind the scenes to introduce them to the trainers, jockeys, and horses seeking the world's most elusive sports prize. Feel the keen disappointment of trainer Bud Delp after Spectacular Bid loses his Triple Crown bid because of a stray safety pin. Witness Angel Cordero's frustration after winning the Kentucky Derby aboard Spend a Buck, only to encounter a series of misadventures on his way home. Mourn the untimely loss of Barbaro in a Preakness that shook the racing world. Their stories are among the twenty-four--including three that are new to this paperback edition--that bring a new dimension to the repertoire of Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont Stakes reporting. Triumph and tragedy are no strangers to horse racing, and in Tales from the Triple Crown Haskin shares both the adrenaline charge of victory and the disappointment of close losses. Haskin's personal involvement, keen eye for a good story, and engaging writing style make readers feel like they are living the moments with him.
