[Jonathan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Pretty good background on the history of thoroughbred racing and breeding around the world, up to about 1980. Some of the more detailed parts about lineages were dry, but easily skimmed over, and there was generally an interesting story about different forces shaping the breeding industry in each country.
