Broken- book on Alydar

Thoughts on this book versus Ride- rise and fall of calumet?

Am on the fence on getting the book and thought to ask on here

two words: BUY IT. i've read many racing books including ones on Alydar but this one is by far the best. worth every penny imo.

Just be warned, it’ll really piss you off.

Fred did a fabulous job on that book.
I thought that many years ago this forum had a thread on Alydar descendants "following", and recommended it to him, but I couldn't find it.

I did my best, but it was probably close to 20 years ago.

The forum went down at least a couple times and everything was lost.

I remember that thread, Oasis Dream.
Yes, it was nearly 20 years ago.

A bit confused here. What did you mean abt 20 years ago? He wrote all these years ago and then apparently published it in 2023?

It’s a great book. I also recommend listening to the broken podcast by Fred. And spread the word of the book since Bloodhorse won’t recognise its existence & the NMRHOF won’t support a signing. Review it on Amazon, tell a friend!

No, we had a thread on here around 20 years ago that followed Alydar's descendants.

Awhile back I read another book about Lundy, and the fall of Calumet and Alydar called Wild Ride. How is this book different/better? Thanks!
