Seattle Slew
Slew 'em, Slew!
Sorry. I've always wanted to put that in a horse racing review, for some reason, and it will never be more appropriate.
Seattle Slew was a champion on the track and a great sire, and this book, surprisingly enough, does him justice! It's clear Mearns is familiar with his subject and is fond of it.
The only part I found off-putting was the bits about the Taylors and their dispute with Slew's first trainer. But then, I find that off-putting in real life as well, and have never liked the Taylors. You mean the trainer wants to put the needs of the horse first?! What on earth could he be thinking?! *eye roll* I don't cotton to people like the Taylors, and was sad to see the trainer go.
But other than that, which was ugly in real life and continues to be ugly on paper, it's an excellent book. Highly recommend.
