If You Love Horses or a Good Underdog Story

I didn't think I was interested in the story of a racehorse, but after devouring Unbroken, I trusted Hillenbrand to take me on a remarkable ride, no matter the topic. In this true story that reads like a novel, Hillenbrand takes her reader on a remarkable ride, masterfully weaving together the stories of a knock-kneed racehorse and the three men who made him a champion: a bookish half-blind jockey, an eccentric trainer, and a limelight-loving owner. An incredible tale, and not just for horse lovers.
