First published in 1977, "Sire Lines" soon became one of the most respected volumes on American Thoroughbred pedigrees. In this updated edition, Abram Hewitt discusses equine pedigrees and genetics that made his work a classic. Among the 88 stallions profiled are the great Man o' War and his sons, the Gray Ghost, Ribot, and more. Hewitt also looks at stallions that make an impact on Thoroughbred breeding and examines how the bloodlines of certain stallions were better suited for American racing rather than European or vice versa. Eclipse Press is proud to once again offer this classic work to Thoroughbred racing enthusiasts everywhere.
