Sobre este item
New York, NY, U.S.A. : Doubleday, 1979. First Edition, 1979. 1st Edition 2nd Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Octavo, hardcover, VG in VG, lightly browned at edges, dj. 204 pp. Photo illustrated. Inside look at the horse racing and breeding industry, using Secretariat as a case study. Story of what happened after all the hoopla over the Triple-Crown-winning "Superhorse" died away and "the true value of Secretariat was put to the test. A syndicate made up of market breeders from the upper reaches of industry, real estate, insurance and banking had purchased shares of Secretariat, each share worth $190, 000--a total cash outlay of over $6 million. And each share now permitted its owner to breed one mare a year to the ' Superhorse, ' though without guarantee that he was actually a superstud. In fact, despite his unequaled track record, Secretariat's virility had been publicly slighted. According to one medical report, he was, in fact, a superdud.
