Kentucky Derby : Run for the Roses

The Kentucky Derby: Run for the Roses is a tribute to the beauty and history of this hallmark event. Filled with exquisite, full-color photographs, it celebrates the jockeys, trainers, owners, horses, and fans that make up the Derby. From the first Derby in 1875, when newspapers reported a cloud of dust hung over the city from the travelers' carriages, to the festive, internationally broadcast races today, here are the horses and the personalities that have come to represent this proud tradition.Doolittle, Bill is the author of 'Kentucky Derby : Run for the Roses', published 1998 under ISBN 9781887656221 and ISBN 1887656227.
