Bold Ruler: Thoroughbred Legends Edward L. Bowen
Eclipse Press 2005 1581501307 / 9781581501308 New hardcover
Bold Ruler was a superstar of the 1950s, ranking as the best of an unforgettable generation of racehorses. His contemporaries included Iron Liege, Round Table, and Gallant Man, and he dueled with them through the 1957 Triple Crown season. Though Bold Ruler lost the Kentucky Derby, he won the Preakness Stakes and then defeated Gallant Man and Round Table in the 1957 Trenton Handicap, considered one of the greatest races of the 20th century. Bold Ruler went on to earn Horse of the Year and champion three-year-old colt honors that year. After an injury forced his retirement at age four, Bold Ruler returned to his birthplace, Claiborne Farm, to begin a new career as a stallion. The Wheatley Stable runner achieved unparalleled success at stud, leading the sire slist for eight years, seven of them consecutively. His eleven champion offspring included the great Secretariat, who won the 1973 Triple Crown in unforgettable fashion.

Dynasties: Great Thoroughbred Stallions Bowen, Edward L.
Eclipse Press/The Blood Horse Inc 1581500548 / 9781581500547 1st Edition 2000 Hardcover, DJ
Twenty-six horses that have profoundly influenced the sport of horse racing in the 20th century are profiled in this look at the evolution of the American Thoroughbred. The early part of the century, when horses such as Fair Play and Man o' War had a strong effect on American racing, is covered, as is the golden era of racing in the middle part of the century, when such stallions as Bull Lea, Blenheim II, and Sir Gallahad III helped America become the source of the world's best racehorses. This book also discusses how their descendants, among them Northern Dancer and Native Dancer, have transformed the commercial market for Thoroughbreds in the last three decades.
Also included are stories of the owners and breeders of these great horses.
