Summary, Etc. "He was unbeatable like Man O' War, had record-breaking speed like Secretariat, and was 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-where horses race at the trot or pace, pulling a sulky-he is almost completely unknown. Brought to life in these pages with painstaking detail and meticulous research, Greyhound's story is both colorful and entertaining. With hundreds of 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 true underdog story"-- Provided by publisher.
