来自出版社的简介

A Gritty Chronicle of the Horse Racing Empire

With an exploration of the tumultuous world of thoroughbred horse racing, Wild Ride presents an unforgettable narrative that’s as thrilling as the sport itself. This award-winning masterpiece tells the heartbreaking story of the rise and subsequent ruin of one of the legends of horse racing–Calumet Farm.

Once synonymous with unmatched excellence, Calumet Farm was the monument of the American thoroughbred industry, spawning myriad superstar racers over the years. Its decline, however, symbolized the end of a glamorous epoch and the birth of a high-stakes industry fraught with financial intrigues and undesired scandals.

Written with an investigative enthusiasm, Wild Ride takes you on a roller-coaster journey across four generations, juxtaposing the glittery past of the racing industry with its modern era, underpinned by contentious deal-making and industry maneuvers.

As the horse racing spectacle gets wrapped in an unforgiving world of business, the legendary Calumet's demise serves as a stirring metaphor for a fortune lost amidst chaos.
