His without equal 3 year old career, his injury which caused the owner, Warren Wright, baking powder magnate, to make him sit out as a 4 year old. When most horses today retire at 3 or 4, Citation was forced to run by his owner. His owner had cancer, and wanted Citation to be the first horse to win a million dollars. So he raced him at the ages of 5 and 6, with Citation losing close races that he shouldn't have lost. He finally won a million, but at what price glory? This is a story of a great horse and his backhanded treatment by his owner. It is a story filled with greed, love, hate, hurt, courage, strength, character and perseverance. This is not just about horses. It is about inhuman behavior by humans of a great horse. Jim Fitzsimmons said: \"Citation is the best horse I ever saw...and I saw Man 'o War.\" Based on the book by Phil Georgeff.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e B. J.
