Inside Track: INSIDER’S GUIDE TO HORSE RACING
By Donna Barton Brothers, Edited by Jackie Duke
Donna wrote this book in an effort to bridge the gap between the ardent and avid horse racing fan and those who just don’t get why we’re all so passionate about this sport. She’s talked to a lot of people about this and that’s when the realization hit: it’s not that they know and understand horse racing and just don’t like it. It’s that they don’t understand the game and they don’t know where to begin. If you’re a hardcore horse racing fan, this book is not for you. But if you’d like to understand the sport better or if you have someone you’d like to take to the races but they’re reluctant to go, this book will certainly be worth every penny.
Best of all, 100% of proceeds from this book are donated to Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance!
