Virginia Horse Racing: Triumphs of the Turf
Time: Noon–1:00 PM
FREE EVENT
Virginia C. Johnson and Barbara Crookshanks will discuss and sign Virginia
Horse Racing: Triumphs of the Turf. Virginia, mother of presidents, is also the
mother of American horse racing. Follow the bloodlines of three foundation
sires of the American thoroughbred through generations of rollicking races and
larger-than-life grandees wagering kingly stakes, sometimes on horses not yet
born.
