Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 28
After nearly 130 years of trying, only 11 colts have swept the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes to earn the Triple Crown - the grand slam of Thoroughbred racing. These 11 were more than just magnificent Thoroughbreds - they were stars, and their stories are full of the drama, passion, and courage associated with stardom. These champions’ stories are found in The Most Glorious Crown, the most entertaining and comprehensive work on the Triple Crown winners ever assembled.

Wish reader pronounced names correctly
Revisado: 06-10-18
Small mistakes (like the Belmont’s flower being a chrysanthemum) and mispronunciation of well known names was distracting.
Not a lot of new info for avid race followers, but still better than listening to something not racing related.

The home run horse, the runner that makes your fortune and changes your life, can come from anywhere. This book will explore the quest for the superior thoroughbred, who takes up the search for a life-changing horse, and why they do it with limited success.

Accurate depiction of Thoroughbred industry
Revisado: 05-28-18
This book provides insight into the Thoroughbred industry; however, the chapters seem to lack a continuity I was looking for. I also found the reader’s mispronunciation of common Thoroughbred entities to be distracting.
Overall, it was a very good 9 hours spent.
