Description

The Horse God Built tells the remarkable story of Secretariat, the world's greatest racehorse, and the man who knew him best. Eddie Sweat, Secretariat's groom, was a pivotal figure in the horse's success, yet his story has been all but forgotten until now.

This book is a tribute to an exceptional man, as well as a journey into the racing world rarely visited. As a young man growing up in South Carolina, Eddie struggled to find his place before discovering his true calling as a groom to North America's finest racehorses. His relationship with Secretariat was one of deep understanding and devotion, forged through years of loyalty and hard work.

Through the eyes of Eddie Sweat, we gain a unique perspective on the racing world and the life of a man who spent every moment with the horse he loved. A rich narrative that sheds new light on a remarkable story, The Horse God Built is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the world of horse racing and the incredible bond between a horse and its groom.
