Eclipse Press Introduces A "Classic" For Racing And Breeding Enthusiasts

Lexington, KY—April 15, 2003— Winning a Triple Crown race — the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont Stakes — is the ultimate goal for Thoroughbred owners and breeders. These races are considered "Classics" for their challenge and prestige, and only the cream of the horse crop attempt all three. In American Classic Pedigrees, author and pedigree researcher Avalyn Hunter profiles and examines the pedigrees of the winners of the five American Classic races from 1914 through 2002: the Triple Crown events and the Kentucky Oaks and Coaching Club American Oaks for fillies.

In addition to examining each horse's sire line and female family, Hunter looks at how the horse has contributed — or not — to the Thoroughbred breed. This monumental work is an important tool for pedigree analysts and breeders who are trying to find breeding patterns that might lead to their own Classic winner — a horse such as Secretariat, Man o' War, or 2002 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner War Emblem.


Illustrated with historic photos, American Classic Pedigrees includes an in-depth index and comprehensive glossary of important historical names.
