THE AMERICAN THOROUGHBRED (Volume I), my new pedigree book, is now available at these locations--

The Keeneland Gift Shop, Joseph-Beth Booksellers (at Lexington Green), the Kentucky Horse Park, or online at http://www.horseinfo.com/cart/amertb.html (click on link to the Russell Meerdink Company entry).  In SARATOGA--the Horse Racing Museum, the Lyrical Ballad (on Phila Street) and Borders (on Broadway).

As you can deduce from the title (Volume I), I am hoping to follow up this extensive pedigree reference work (599 pages) with additional volumes.  In the meantime, I will share my findings via this website.

Once you have had the chance to review the Stallion of the Month (Candy Ride) and Pedigree of the Month (Rachel Alexandra) features, be sure to click on the Archived Stories option on the toolbar to review stallions and pedigrees that I have reviewed in past months.  Feel free to contact me (via the toolbar), if you have an interest in discussing a pedigree, whether it is posted on the website or not.

And never hesitate to contact me if you are in need of stallion recommendations for your mare.  I can provide extensive research to back up my opinions.  Happy hunting at the horse sales, as there should be bargains available for the diligent and patient shopper.
