Item Details
Description
Three books contain the following pocket-sized publications:
1 - Thoroughbreds - Property of C.V. Whitney Esq., 42pp, This small binder contains 42 pages of information detailing the thoroughbreds owned by Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney in 1931. It includes extensive lists of his stallions, brood mares, foals, proposed breeding pairs and horses in training for the 1931 season. A staggering list of over 225 of the best horses of the era.
2 - A Stud Farm Diary, 135pp, Humphrey S. Finney, The Blue RIdge Press, 1949. "This little handbook is one of men steeped in the world of thoroughbred breeding and compiled by a master horseman in book form. It is a unique and valuable contribution to the literature of the turf."
3 - Race Horse Training, 312pp, Robert W. Collins, The Blood-Horse, 1938. This edition was printed from the original type, which was then destroyed. The edition consisted of 1000 numbered copies.

Measure 6.25"-6.375".
