Specificatii
When a little foal with a white upside-down exclamation point on
her forehead was born one morning in Kentucky, the heart of
America's horse racing region, problems mounted quickly. Rejected
by her mother, the filly would need to be accepted and nursed by
another mare. As she grew, the tall, knock-kneed girl remained
skinny and scruffy, with paltry muscles. Considered an "ugly
duckling," she was unsuitable as a champion racehorse, her owner
proclaimed, and must be sold. But two days before the sale, an
examination revealed a medical condition--now she was impossible to
sell What would become of this problem filly? Alexandra the Great
tells one of the greatest underdog tales in American sports--the
story of Rachel Alexandra, who grew up to become one of the most
remarkable racehorses in history. Despite dominating every filly
her age, her owner refused to let her compete against male horses.
When a new owner saw her potential and raced her against bigger,
stronger males, Rachel Alexandra thrived and went on to win the
Preakness, the first filly to do so in 85 years, and the Woodward,
a feat never before achieved by a filly. Having grown into a
strong, muscular, dominating athlete, Rachel Alexandra was named
2009 Horse of the Year, broke records, graced the pages of Vogue
magazine, and showed people around the world exactly what it means
to "run like a girl." Including vivid details gleaned from
interviews with Rachel Alexandra's owners, veterinarian, beloved
jockey Calvin Borel, and more, Alexandra the Great gives readers an
exciting and emotional look at both the humans and horses who pour
their hearts and souls into the world of Thoroughbred training and
racing.
