Titles by Lenny Shulman

<div>With a trademark powerful stride amid a blaze of red and yellow silks, Justify emphatically crossed the finish line at the 2018 Belmont Stakes and became just the 13th winner of horse racing&#39;s elusive Triple Crown. One of the most charismatic and talented runners in the history of the sport, Justify was also one of its most unlikely champions; the late-blooming chestnut colt made his competitive debut only 111 days prior to that legendary victory.<br /><br />In <em>Justify: 111 Days to Triple Crown Glory</em>, veteran scribe Lenny Shulman (<em>BloodHorse</em> magazine) provides an insider account of this Thoroughbred&rsquo;s rise to greatness. Through extensive interviews and first-hand accounts, readers will discover the fascinatingly disparate cast of characters who were crucial to Justify&rsquo;s success, including trainer Bob Baffert, whose innate ability to identify equine talent also produced American Pharoah; Mike Smith, the 52-year-old jockey asserting himself in the miraculous third act of his career; and breeders John and Tanya Gunther, who believed in Justify&rsquo;s ability despite the developmental imperfections that drove buyers away.<br /><br />Packed with riveting action, keen insight, and behind-the-scenes perspectives on quieter figures like silent investors, international stakeholders, and unheralded training staff, <em>Justify</em> is an illuminating look at the modern Thoroughbred industry and an essential story for the ages.</div>
