From the publisher

The story of the Texas-bred horse who became a racing star in 1946, the year of his Triple Crown win. Injured as a baby, Assault walked with a limp for the rest of his life, but when he ran he was pure speed and grace.

First line

One day about forty years ago, I rode my horse, Jubal, along a fence line on a friend's cattle ranch near Falfurrias, Texas.
