Rose Runners: Chronicles of the Kentucky Derby Winners is not just another book about the biggest party in the world. This is a book like no other for it is a conglomerate of 144 short stories of every Kentucky Derby winner. Starting with Aristides in 1875 through Justify in 2018, each winner is acknowledged and honored with a short bio. Some are funny, others intriguing, while several are heartbreaking. Howard, Marks and Hudson have done a superb job of bringing the reader to every Kentucky Derby as if they were there in person.
