출판사 설명
“Secretariat is an elegantly crafted, exhilarating tale of speed and power, grace and greatness, told with such immediacy that the reader is lost in the rush of horses and the clatter and ring of the grandstand.”
—Laura Hillenbrand, bestselling author of Seabiscuit
Updated with a new preface by the author
In 1973, Secretariat, the greatest champion in horse-racing history, won the Triple Crown. The only horse to ever grace the covers of Time, Newsweek, and Sports Illustrated in the same week, he also still holds the record for the fastest times in both the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes. He was also the only non-human chosen as one of ESPN’s “50 Greatest Athletes of the Century.” The tale of “Big Red” is an enduring and inspiring classic, more than thirty years after its initial publication.

Secretariat
Got to be the greatest horse that ever lived. Sweet book.
Great Tribute to an Amazing Horse
If you have ever wanted to feel what it would like to be on the back of almost 1,200 pounds of heart running at almost 40 mph, read this book. Nack's description of Red's races will put you in the saddle. You won't be able to put this book down even if you have never seen a Triple Crown race. I watched the 1973 Belmont on TV and can still remember today the stunned sense of awe at what Secretariat accomplished in that race. See the movie, but then read the true story in this book. It is compelling.
Secretariat, wonderful
This book is excellent. Really brings the story of the Greatest Race Horse that ever lived to life. If you haven't seen the movie you need to see that to!!!!!
