Secretariat by William Nack (Paperback)

Penny Chenery is a woman with a dream. Following her father’s illness, her beloved Meadow Stables is facing closure. Even though she has little experience of racing thoroughbreds, Penny is determined to turn its fortunes around. But to manage a prominent stable needs a set of professional skills as well as a certain touch. With the help of the charismatic Lucien Laurin – and the fateful toss of a coin – Penny finds herself the owner of a bright red chestnut colt, Secretariat.

Against all odds and with Laurin’s guidance, Penny navigates the male-dominated world of horse-racing, ultimately guiding the fortunes of America’s first Triple Crown winner in 25 years and the racehorse that many consider to be the greatest of all time.

The tale of Secretariat (or “Big Red” as he is widely known) is an enduring and inspiring classic, and is now the subject of a major Disney film.

‘Secretariat is an elegantly crafted, exhilarating tale of speed and power, grace and greatness, told with such immediacy that the reader is lost in the rush of horses and the clatter and ring of the grandstand’ -Laura Hillenbrand, author of Seabiscuit
