Nashua
It's hard to believe that this is the same Edward L. Bowen that wrote the achingly tedious Matriarchs II: More Great Mares of Modern Times. This book is lively and nearly as fast as old Nashua used to be on a good day.
Nashua was one of America's greatest thoroughbred racehorses, but he had a very quirky disposition. If he didn't feel like running, he didn't run. Didn't matter if Arcaro was on him. "Hey, Eddie, if you want to run to the finish line YOU run to the finish line. I'll be daydreaming about my future stud career."
Sadly, this handsomely packaged book leaves out details I really wanted to know about. Nashua's second owner was shot by his wife. This is not given much of a mention. Also, the focus of the book is on Nashua's racing career, even though he spent most of his life as a stud and tourist attraction in Kentucky. I would have liked to read some more of his quirks and personality, such as his habit of playing with the water in his water trough or zooming about his paddock.
