The Elite Eleven

The Story of America's Triple Crown Horse Champions

By: Bryan Jordan

Narrated by: Elizabeth J. Taylor

Winning the Triple Crown is considered the greatest accomplishment for a thoroughbred racehorse. The fact that there have been only eleven thoroughbred horses to win the Triple Crown, puts these non-human, super athletes into a class of their own.

Take a trip into horse racing history with Bryan Jordan, where he will tell you the story behind each horse and looks into the lives of horse racing's finest - the Triple Crown Champions. Learn about the upsets, the rivals, and their amazing triumphs, which often times came with tremendous challenges. Jordan also details the story of each jockey, trainer, and owner for the champions, and how they impacted each of the Elite Eleven's rise to the top.

Short but sweet

A short synopsis of the eleven horses up to that time who had won the Triple Crown. Gives a little overview of jockeys, trainers and farms that helped those horses achieve such greatness.

Dreadful. Just dreadful.

Was this someone's 9-th grade term paper? Did no one provide the narrator pronunciations? UGH.
