Contents: From the jacket:

Not only did Nearctic survive physical hardships, mismanagement and incompetence, today his is the patriarch of the most dominant sire line in Thoroughbred history. About 75 per cent of Thoroughbred foals born in the spring of 2001 boast Nearctic in their bloodlines. The world's leading sires are all direct descendents.

DARK HORSE brings to light the remarkable relationship between this wild, rebellious stallion and the one man who understood him -- a relationship that reverberates throughout Thoroughbred racing and breeding the world over.

DARK HORSE is enormously engaging, entertaining and haunting -- and takes Nearctic from obscurity to the prominence he deserves.
