Описание: A quarter of a million people braved miserable conditions at Epsom Downs on June 2, 1954, to see the 175th running of the prestigious Derby Stakes. Queen Elizabeth II and Sir Winston Churchill were in attendance, along with thousands of Britons who were all convinced of the unfailing superiority of English bloodstock and eager to see a British colt take the victory. They were shocked when a Kentucky-born chestnut named Never Say Die galloped to a two-length triumph at odds of 33-1, winning Britain's greatest race and beginning an important shift in the world of Thoroughbred racing. Never Say Die traces the history of this extraordinary colt, beginning with his foaling in Lexington, Kentucky, when a shot of bourbon whiskey revived him and earned him his name. Author James C. Nicholson also tells the stories of the influential individuals brought together by the horse and his victory - from the heir to the Singer sewing machine fortune to the Aga Khan. Most fascinating is the tale of Mona Best of Liverpool, England, whose well-placed bet on the long-shot Derby contender allowed her to open the Casbah Coffee Club. There, her son met musicians John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison and later joined their band. Featuring a foreword by the original drummer for the Beatles, Pete Best, this remarkable book reveals how an underdog's surprise victory played a part in the formation of the most successful and influential rock band in history and made the Bluegrass region of Kentucky the center of the international Thoroughbred industry.

Mark Cramer is at his happiest in the dim light of the off-track betting parlor, where the flickering glow of the racetrack monitors dances to the low, steady rumble of the race caller's voice. You'd feel the same if you knew what Cramer knows about thoroughbred handicapping
After years of research, observation, and ups and downs at the track, Mark Cramer has devised the most reliable system for tracking and predicting a horse's performance cycles in the history of the sport. In fact, Thoroughbred Cycles is the definitive work on the subject of thoroughbred form, a volume unrivaled in scope, clarity, and precision. By framing a given horse's performance as a group of histories-histories of the horse, jockey, trainer, and handicapper-the form-cycle approach to handicapping allows the horseplayer to take advantage of fluctuations in performance. In stark contrast to the other inconsistently-successful systems of projection for racehorse performance cycles, Cramer's method draws on specific aspects of a horse's performance history to yield statistically probable projections about their future performance fluctuations.
Studded with engaging anecdotes that punctuate Cramer's clear and illuminating explanations of method, Thoroughbred Cycles is an entertaining, appealing, and educational read. We're happy to say that Mark's years of hard work and number crunching have paid off big time For in the pages of this book you'll find the solution to the mysteries of form that have stumped horseplayers and fans for decades.
