Celebrate spring and the upcoming Triple Crown of thoroughbred racing by reading this novel saluting the Triple Crown and horse racing. In this third Volume of the Shroud Series, Lute, Maria, and Kathy Rothfuss have just buried their assassinated son and husband, President-elect Jesse Rothfuss. In order to soothe the family's grief at the loss of their loved one, Lute devises yet another plan to breed a spectacular throroughbred race hose, who bears an uncanny resemblance to a racing legend. The new goal is to win the Triple Crown, and the novel follows Red Foot Jesse as he begins his racing career and races in the Triple Crown series- the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness, and the Belmont Stakes. Lute's plan has every opportunity to backfire, and Jesse's chief racing competitor is another gifted horse bred and owned by an ex-friend and rival of Lute. This work is a panoramic salute to thoroughbred horse racing and the Triple Crown. The fast moving story has a host of memorable characters- the aging and alcoholic horse trainer, the elderly assistant trainer who is a horse whisperer, and a scheming and diabolical female horse racing reporter. Humor, intrigue, and huge doses of throughbred horse racing history are scattered through this enjoyable story.
