Críticas
"I did not know much about horse racing until I read Three Strides Before the Wire. Now, I've learned a good bit about the front and the back of the sport, and had all the pleasure en route of reading a novel and well-written book."
"Mitchell has done a superb job reporting, giving us wonderfully privileged glimpses of a closed world. Adorned by a lucid, elegantly spare, nuanced prose style, this book conveys the romance and harsh pathos of the sport of kings, even to non-enthusiasts.
"Three Strides Before the Wire remains a strong contender with Seabiscuit down the backstretch."
"As with Seabiscuit, the jockey's story is the most interesting and dramatic... Mitchell also fills in, gracefully I think, her own heartbreak...Mitchell is a practiced and assidous delver...though always full of feeling."
Reseña del editor
Thorough research and engrossing text combine to present a thrilling glimpse into the enigmatic world of horse racing by focusing on the 1999 Derby winner Charismatic, from his birth through his tragic death, detailing the major people in this extraordinary horse's life, including the trainer, owners, and jockey Chris Antley, whose own tragic story matches that of his horse. Reprint. 20,000 first printing.
