When Citation (1945-1970) retired in mid-1951, he was horse racing's first, to that point, only millionaire racehorse. Following his triumphs at the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont in 1948, it would be 25 years before another horse (uberhorse Secretariat) would again wear the coveted Triple Crown. Based on interviews from those who knew the thoroughbred, including famed jockey Eddie Arcaro and renowned son-and-father trainers Ben A. and Jimmy Jones, this is the full story of the greatest sports figures in the history of horse racing, a champion who won or placed in 30 different contests in his career and whose spirit continues to captivate the American public.
