Description

For fans of Elizabeth Letts's The Eighty-Dollar Champion comes a compelling and illuminating true story about the greatest racehorse history forgot.


Unbeatable like Man O' War, record-breaking speed like Secretariat, and loved by the fans and everyone who knew him like Seabiscuit. While any fan of harness racing will know and talk of Greyhound with deep reverence, outside the world of harness racing, he is almost completely unknown.

An ugly, awkward underdog in his early years, Greyhound blossomed into a champion under the care of a millionaire entrepreneur owner, the guidance of a veteran trainer/driver, and the love of a young caretaker who acted as bodyguard, public relations guru, and valet for the horse. Greyhound developed into the fastest trotter in history--his mile record stood for over thirty years--and retired with sixteen of twenty-five world records still unbroken. Greyhound was a celebrity in his day--a horse with such an enigmatic personality some swore he was part human.

Brought to life in these pages with painstaking detail and meticulous research, Greyhound's story is both colorful and entertaining. With nearly two hundred historical photographs and racing artifacts, many shared with the public for the first time, and a compendium of race results from the heyday of harness racing, this is more than a feel-good success story--it's the historical record racing enthusiasts have been waiting for. Greyhound is a book for anyone who has known the love of a great horse and everyone who finds inspiration in a Cinderella story.
