520    The father of the Kentucky Derby called him "the greatest 
       all-around Thoroughbred in American racing history." 
       Sportswriter Grantland Rice simply called him "the 
       greatest racehorse." Now Eliza McGraw tells the story of 
       how a gangling, long-shot Kentucky Derby winner named 
       Exterminator became one of the most beloved racehorses of 
       all time. Here Comes Exterminator! draws readers into the 
       golden age of racing, with all its ups and downs, the ever
       -involving interplay of horses and people, and the beauty,
       grace, fear, and hope that are a daily part of life at the
       track. Caught between his hotheaded millionaire owner and 
       his knowledgeable trainer, Exterminator captured fans' 
       affection with his personality, consistency, athleticism, 
       and heart. Exterminator's staggering success would 
       dramatically change the world of horse-racing. He 
       challenged the notion that American horses would never 
       live up to Europe's meticulously charted bloodlines and 
       became a patriotic icon of the country after World War I. 
       And his longevity established him as one of the public's 
       most beloved athletes, paving the way for equine 
       celebrities like Seabiscuit and showing Americans they 
       could claim--and love--a famous racehorse as their own.
