Summary:
"A comprehensive, fully illustrated biography of Nova Scotia’s Somebeachsomewhere, the greatest standardbred pacer of all time, from the award-winning author of Year of the
Horse
. It's November 2006 and Brent MacGrath, a car salesman from Nova Scotia, has just had his first glimpse of a gorgeous yearling at the Lexington Yearling Sale -- and his heart skips a beat. He takes another look. Even this young, the bay stallion has size and 'presence.' Against all odds, and with limited funds, MacGrath makes a successful bid for the colt. Somebeachsomewhere: 'The Harness Racing Legend from a One-Horse Stable' is a work of narrative non-fiction that follows the life and career of the Ohio-born, Canadian-sired superstar pacer known as '
Beach
' who belonged to a syndicate of six owners from Canada's East Coast. From a relatively humble lineage, Somebeachsomewhere turned out to be a
horse
of a lifetime: a world-champion Hall of Famer, smashing records and setting a single-season earning record as a three-year-old. Many consider
Beach
, who died unexpectedly in 2018, the greatest pacer and Standardbred sire of all time. Canadian and American racing fans loved the friendly stallion with 'an extra gear,' and threw '
Beach
Parties' whenever he raced. This is the first-ever complete, generously illustrated account of
Beach
, a
horse
who captivated the world with his speed, courage and near-flawless gait. It is also a story of improbabilities and magic, featuring dozens of interviews with top American and Canadian horsemen and women, the owners of Empire Stallions, and harness racing industry professionals."--From publisher.
