Horse Memoir

STRAIGHT FROM THE HORSE'S MOUTH! Smarty Jones-the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and near Belmont Stakes Triple Crown winner finally opens up about his life on and off the racetrack.

In this fact-based fable, America's horse touches on topics spanning leadership and motivation to humor and humility.
