Description Who is the only dam that foaled three offspring who each captured three or more major North American victories since World War II? When Shug McGaughey was enshrined in the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame at Saratoga Springs, NY, in August, that leaves only one eligible trainer with victories in more than 40 major North American stakes races since World War II who hasn't been inducted. Can you name him? Do you know the name of the two jockeys who rank among the top 20 for their performances in major North American races since World War II who haven't been enshrined in the Hall of Fame? Cigar was widely hailed for equaling Citation's "modern Record" of 16 consecutive victories. Which colt's 12 consecutive victories in major races in the longest such winning streak since World War II? The answers to these questions and more are found in this month's Horse Art Gallery featured item, The Abstract Primer of Thoroughbred Racing: Separating Myth From Fact to Identify the Genuine Gems and Dandies 1946 - 2003 by Richard Sowers. This exciting new reference book separates myth from fact in thoroughbred racing. The author, Richard Sowers, has long enjoyed a reputation as on of the country's leading sports historians and covered thoroughbred racing extensively for more than a decade for The Courier-Journal, hometown newspaper of the Kentucky Derby, and for The Sporting News. "What a fantastic resource book! Finally! A complete, one-stop resource of thoroughbred knowledge for the Sport of Kings! Richard Sowers has saved all of us in the industry days, weeks, months -- probably years -- of research with The Abstract Primer of Thoroughbred Racing. It's a winner and a lifesaver for all of us who love thoroughbred racing." -- Chris Lincoln, former host of ESPN's Race Horse Digest and World Series Racing Championship
