Reseña del libro "headless horsemen,a tale of chemical colts, subprime sales agents, and the last kentucky derby on steroids (en Inglés)"
For fans concerned about the future of horse racing, a well-told cautionary tale about greed and willful inattention (Kirkus).An insider's stunning account of the corrupt practices that threaten both the horses and the game . . . an engrossing read. --Minneapolis Star-Tribune Jim Squires was in trouble. He was in the horse business, an enterprise seemingly intent on committing suicide, led over the cliff by visionless leaders. A clannish group called the Dinnies had long refused to share power, as vast overproduction and unbridled greed created a subprime-like bubble in the market. Overpriced animals of dubious quality and drug-enhanced performance on the track were undermining the integrity of competition and ultimately the very breed itself. With its economic model broken, its tawdry sales practices under attack, and its public image in tatters, the sport was overdue for a reckoning. Headless Horsemen is Squires's critique of what is happening to the sport and the animals he loves, as he and a small group of unlikely heroes agitate for a return to fair dealing. For anyone who cares about the soul and survival of horse racing, this book is an impassioned call to arms.
