Broken: The Suspicious Death of Alydar and the End of Horse Racing's Golden Age by Fred M. Kray, Fred M. Kray
dark
informative

medium-paced
4.0
Broken was both an interesting listen, and a hard one. Interesting because you get to see Kray's determination to give Alydar a voice and find out what really happened, and hard because hearing what this poor horse (and some others mentioned) went through is incredibly sad. I really don't understand people who hurt animals for any reason, least of all greed.
The book is well-researched and full of interviews from every person you could think of that had anything to do with Alydar (who did say yes to the interview, that is).
I feel like I learned a lot about horse racing, Alydar's life and the investigation into his death. The only flaw of this book, is that it could get a bit repetitive in the interviews, and the pacing wasn't the best. But I really appreciate the lengths Mr Kray went through to get the truth out there. JUSTICE FOR ALYDAR!!!
