While any fan of harness racing will know and talk of Greyhound with deep reverence, outside the world of harness racing, he is almost completely unknown. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn ugly, awkward underdog in his early years, Greyhound blossomed into a champion under the care of a millionaire entrepreneur owner, the guidance of a veteran trainer\/driver, and the love of a young caretaker who acted as bodyguard, public relations guru, and valet for the horse. Greyhound developed into the fastest trotter in history--his mile record stood for over thirty years--and retired with sixteen of twenty-five world records still unbroken. Greyhound was a celebrity in his day--a horse with such an enigmatic personality some swore he was part human. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Brought to life in these pages with painstaking detail and meticulous research, Greyhound's story is both colorful and entertaining. With nearly two hundred historical photographs and racing artifacts, many shared with the public for the first time, and a compendium of race results from the heyday of harness racing, this is more than a feel-good success story--it's the historical record racing enthusiasts have been waiting for. \u003ci\u003eGreyhound\u003c\/i\u003e is a book for anyone who has known the love of a great horse and everyone who finds inspiration in a Cinderella story.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCheryl L.
