"In its poetic splendor and moral seriousness, The Sport of Kings bears the traces of Faulkner, Morrison, and McCarthy. . . . It is a contemporary masterpiece."--San Francisco Chronicle

Hailed by The New Yorker for its "remarkable achievements," The Sport of Kings is an American tale centered on a horse and two families: one white, a Southern dynasty whose forefathers were among the founders of Kentucky; the other African-American, the descendants of their slaves.

It is a dauntless narrative that stretches from the fields of the Virginia piedmont to the abundant pastures of the Bluegrass, and across the dark waters of the Ohio River; from the final shots of the Revolutionary War to the resounding clang of the starting bell at Churchill Downs. As C. E. Morgan unspools a fabric of shared histories, past and present converge in a Thoroughbred named Hellsmouth, heir to Secretariat and a contender for the Triple Crown. Newly confronted with one another in the quest for victory, the two families must face the consequences of their ambitions, as each is driven---and haunted---by the same, enduring question: How far away from your father can you run?

A sweeping narrative of wealth and poverty, racism and rage, The Sport of Kings is an unflinching portrait of lives cast in the shadow of slavery and a moral epic for our time.

The stand isn’t worth it
Love this device, the stand is frustrating. Falls apart easily and is very easy to bump/fall apart. I have not tried the wall option for stand, tho it’s nice that it is a back up option. Overall the mixing device works great- I use it with powders so far.

Disappointed After on durability
Dsappointed After a Short Time. At first, this product worked great, and I was really happy with it. However, after just two months, it completely stopped working. Very disappointed in the durability. I expected it to last much longer.

No battery replacement
The frother is more powerful than my last one, and has an easy recharge usb connection! I add cocoa powder and cinnamon to my morning coffee along with half n half. Using the frother mixes all the ingredients and puts a nice foamy topping!

The Best
Love this product! It holds a charge for weeks without losing force. I've purchased several of these type products in the past, but yours one, by far, it's the best. Love it!
