Horse Racing Divas

Twelve fillies and mares who achieved racing's highest honor. Horse of the Year is the highest honor bestowed in Thoroughbred racing, and 12 superlative females have worn this mantle of greatness. Horse Racing Divas profiles these outstanding racehorses and chronicles the eras in which they raced. The twelve include: • Zenyatta, winner of nineteen consecutive races • Rachel Alexandra, who beat the boys in the 2009 Preakness • Lady's Secret, the great gray known as the Iron Lady • Azeri, who completely dominated her peers in 2002 • Twilight Tear, Calumet Farm's World War II heroine Horse Racing Divas also profiles racing legends of yesteryear such as Miss Woodford and Imp. The book contains historic and color photographs and complete past performances of each runner. The Blood-Horse magazine, horse racing's most respected journal, assembled a team of top writers and correspondents to compile these profiles, including award-winning authors Edward L. Bowen, Steve Haskin, Avalyn Hunter, and John McEvoy.
