More about the book

The narrative centers on Canonero II, an overlooked horse trained by a Spanish-speaking Venezuelan, who astonished everyone by winning the 1971 Kentucky Derby against all odds. Initially dismissed by experts, Canonero II surged ahead from a significant deficit to claim victory, followed by a record-setting win at the Preakness Stakes. Milt Toby chronicles this remarkable journey, highlighting the horse's transformation into a national symbol of hope and resilience, showcasing how a flawed yearling captured the hearts of many and aimed for the elusive Triple Crown.
