About this product

Product Information

In 1973, Secretariat, the greatest champion in horse-racing history, won the Triple Crown. The only horse to ever grace the covers of "Time, Newsweek," and "Sports Illustrated" in the same week, he also still holds the records for the fastest times in both the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes. He was also the only non-human chosen as one of ESPN's "50 Greatest Athletes of the Century." The tale of "Big Red" continues to be a classic, more than 30 years after its initial publication. Walt Disney Studios is scheduled to release the still untitled movie based on the book in October 2010. We will have access to all of the key art from the movie for this tie-in which we will be utilizing for the cover. Currently out of print, "Secretariat" will be the official movie tie-in edition.

  • An EXCELLENT Tribute To Americas Most Beloved Racehorse!

    As a huge fan of Secretariat- this was a must read and I couldnt wait to start it. While I must admit that it was a little different from what I expected- seedier, harsher and more dramatic then even the movie was- it is still a very well written book. Here was my one and only problem with it, ...I am an avid reader and this book at times had a tendency to lose me a bit. I figured out midway thru that it was due to the amount of detail that Nack often goes into when describing certain facts of the story behind this great horse, which normally would be a good thing, but in some cases it seemed to be too many facts crammed into a paragraph that had me reading and re reading it too make sure I had it all straight. It wasnt so much facts that surrounded Secretariat himself, but the facts ...

  • Tells it like it REALLY was! The best horse that ever lived !!

    Glad I read this, but AFTER I saw the movie, so I could enjoy both the movie and the book. The book had the real story not the Hollywood version. It has lots of statistics. But it was interesting. Mr Nack is VERY thorough. If you love horses, especially Secretariat, Don't miss it. He is /was my favorite horse ever!

  • very detailed

    it goes into much more depth and straightens out some errors in the movie.
