Review: Appropriate for thoroughbred racing fans, aspiring trainers and new owners. This book is the product of years of shedrow wisdom. Includes stories and anecdotes about Nafzger's experiences as a trainer including his Kentucky Derby and Breeders' Cup Classic campaigns with Unbridled. All is used to illustrate his formula for a successful racehorse. The text is quite readable. There are a few printing errors, but the book is adequately constructed.

Summary: Great
Review: This is a book by a very conventional trainer about the training and care of Unbridled to win the Derby and Breeder's Cup. Mr. Nafzger sets out the training program of Unbridled, and for his stable, and as such the book gives a valuable insight into the methods of one successful trainer. I think Mr.Nafzger is to be congratulated and thanked for putting all this in writing. If you want to know how the majority of your trainers at the race track operate, this book is most instructive.
