  Turf writer Maryjean Wall explores the post-Civil War world of Thoroughbred racing, before the Bluegrass reigned supreme as the unofficial Horse Capital of the World. Wall uses her insider knowledge of horse racing as the foundation for an unprecedented examination of the efforts to establish a Thoroughbred industry in late-nineteenth-century Kentucky.
