Blood Horses by John Jeremiah Sullivan
An immersive blend of reportage, memoir, and cultural history that follows thoroughbred horses and the people who breed, train, and race them, tracing bloodlines, racetracks, and the everyday labor behind the spectacle; intimate portraits of jockeys, trainers, and owners are woven with meditations on obsession, gambling, beauty, and the often brutal realities of an industry that elevates animals to mythic status while exposing its moral contradictions.
