The research for Classic Lives was unique. Caroline Silver lived with these horses. She was present at their births. She has ridden them, groomed them, and seen them through every phase of their growth. In this engrossing book she carries the reader behind the scenes of the fascinating, exclusive, and heart-warming world of thoroughbred racing.
