Dj has light creases, chipping, several edge tears, one long tear repaired on underside, corners frayed, edgewear, cover has only light wear, no markings. From the dj flap: John Aiscan does not beat about the bush, i.e. the problems and difficulties of breeding. He points out the main lines along which the thoroughbred developed and mentions the knowledge that has been won on the way. Anyone who follows his advice and his tips will definitely never regret doing this. Destiny can make many turns to move a man to write about horse-racing and the thoroughbred, and to do so with a critical eye. John Aiscan, the practical horseman of years long experience in 23 countries, who studied agriculture and livestock breeding, and who thinks along closed bloodlines, is the only right man for this book on Ribot. Universally considered one of the finest European racehorses of the 20th century, Ribot was master breeder Federico Tesio's masterpiece. Unbeaten in 16 starts, he won over distances ranging from 1000 meters (about 5 furlongs) to 3000 meters (about 15 furlongs). Although he was not entered for the Italian Classics due to his small size as a yearling, his mastery in other races was such that he was acknowledged as the best horse in Italy. Sent to France for two runnings of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and to England for the 1956 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes, he was equally dominant against the best horses all Europe could offer. He was a great success at stud in England and the United States. Ships by USPS Media Rate Mail with Signature confirmation and insurance.
