i loved how this felt like we could have been reading or watching of a news story that enfolded from the races. Andy seemed to really know his stuff and this made it so exciting and feel so real. i could see this in the folds weve all watched on tv when races day comes about. you can imagine them in the stables, on the track, in the stands.
who are we rooting for? whos in the wrong? will the horse be ok! and who do we want to win, ends up winning, or does winning mean different things to everyone in this game?
i really enjoyed this book. it was a different and original plot for me which made it even better. and it felt like Andy had researched what he wrote really well. there was a knowing there of someone who knows their stuff on the subject they are writing about.
