Review: The Great Match Race

The 1823 match race between American Eclipse and Henry ushered in a new era in American sports. 60,000 people descended on New York's Union Course to see the best of the North take on the best of the South in a battle for bragging rights. Baltimore Sun writer John EIsenberg brings the reader back to a very exciting time in not only the sport's, but also the country's history. This book is strongly recommended to all fans of horse racing history.
