THE AMERICAN RACING MANUAL, the only book of its kind published in the entire world, is virtually a history of racing in America, containing as it does ALL the statistics of the previous year, together with tabulations of our great races and everything of importance pertaining to racing and breeding. This publication is not only valuable to racing organizations, breeders, horsemen and others directly connected with the sport, but to the general public as well. The 1936 American Racing Manual has been enlarged in size and, surprising as it may be, improved! We were told that we could not improve a hundred per cent perfect book — nevertheless, we have done that very thing. We leave it to you to judge for yourselves. The Greatest Lottery of Them All Follow the fortunes of the players in the great Saratoga Lottery, the August auction of yearling thoroughbreds. The American Racing Manual will furnish you with the names of the buyers, the prices they paid, and the pedigrees of the youngsters bought and sold. You can learn the names of the young horses by scanning the pedigrees of two-year-olds as they make their racing debut. Watch the rise and fall of the 0,000 Swans and the 00 Ugly Ducklings. Horses come in all sizes and shapes, but beautiful shapes or 0,000 purchase prices do not guarantee stake winners. The unwanted yearling, knocked down for 00, may become the Swan of the race course, while the 0,000 beauty gravitates into the despised plater class. Big prices, royal pedigrees, heart breaks, strokes of fortune, glamour, romance, sorrow, are all inextricably mixed together in the great Saratoga Lottery. Its fascinating when you have the details at your finger tips, then follow the story of good or bad luck that unfolds before you as the year fades into history, while you read between the lines.
