Very Good in Very Good jacket. Book Octavo, hardcover, VG in VG, lightly browned at edges, dj. 204 pp. Photo illustrated. Inside look at the horse racing and breeding industry, using Secretariat as a case study. Story of what happened after all the hoopla over the Triple-Crown-winning "Superhorse" died away and "the true value of Secretariat was put to the test. A syndicate made up of market breeders from the upper reaches of industry, real estate, insurance and banking had purchased shares of Secretariat, each share worth $190, 000--a total cash outlay of over $6 million. And each share now permitted its owner to breed one mare a year to the ' Superhorse, ' though without guarantee that he was actually a superstud. In fact, despite his unequaled track record, Secretariat's virility had been publicly slighted. According to one medical report, he was, in fact, a superdud.
