Book Synopsis
GOLDEST HORSE - Paul Joseph Pluth
This is one of the most compelling sports stories ... animal or otherwise.
This is the recounting of the lives of a hyper-talented race horse and his handlers, who together attempted what no one else could accomplish. It details their interactions with important historical figures, and their presence at the most famous of events. It documents their lauded exploits, zany coincidences, crushing failures, and a constant barrage of challenges that would have defeated an ordinary set of characters. It explains how many racing traditions came about. Along the way, breakthrough research dispels worn myths and assembles the truth.
Strangely, you might not have heard of these individuals before. This is about a legend deprived, and an injustice repaired. And all of it is absolutely true.
Follow these determined men and this indefatigable horse as they attempt to do the impossible, and as they wander up and down and around the map of America.
