I was hoping for more colour about behind the scenes. I finished the book without learning anything new about the people involved. It's mostly coverage of Coolmore's success on the track - most of which readers will already know.

It's an interesting book detailing Coolmore today. There were a few facts in it that had me scratching my head due to being a little off but that happens in most biography-type books so I'm not holding it against the book too much. Worth a read if you want to know more about Coolmore as it is in this century.
