Reviews
American Pharoah is lucky to have Joe Drape. Actually, they're lucky to have each other. No horse has given the preeminent chronicler of 21st century thoroughbreds better material and no other writer could do justice to such a terrific athlete and story. They deserve each other-and anyone who cares about horse racing deserves this book. Jeremy Schaap, author of Cinderella Man and Triumph Nobody writes about horses like Joe Drape. He takes you around the track, makes you hear the roar, feel the thrill, see the rich, shadowy, behind-the-scenes world so few us really understand. His writing is as effortless as it is necessary. AMERICAN PHAROAH is an epic American classic, a modern-day Seasbiscuit. If you read just one book about horse racing, read this one.
