Wonderful career
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
Few people outside the harness racing industry realize the commitment and dedication of horsemen who are involved in this sport. And the quintessential model for the current generation's emulation was Gentleman Joe O'Brien, whose amazing career is documented in this easy-to-read account. He had a special affinity for horses, almost a "horse whisperer" who could wring winning performances out of virtually every steed he drove. This book tells his story.
Very informative book - excellent photos!

A wonderful book based on a very talented harness racer and the biggest money winner of his era. Joe O'Brien was the original horse whisperer. Gives a detailed and accurate account of the difficulties that the harness racing world faced in the 40s and 50s and how belief, perserverance and hard work does pay off. There are some excellent photographs of some of the best standardbreds and drivers in the industry. A real gem for any harness racing fan!
