"Aiken Thoroughbred Racing Champions" Book Signing

Author Lisa J. Hall will be on hand to sign copies of her book Aiken Thoroughbred Racing Champions at the Aiken County Visitors Center. Since the 1940s, 40 racing champions have traveled the hallowed grounds of the historic Aiken Training Track. Thoroughbred icons such as Kelso, Tom Fool, Swale, Pleasant Colony, Conquistador Cielo, and Shuvee trained at this world-renowned track. Numerous members of the Aiken Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame won the biggest races in the sport. These champions combined for a total of 546 races in 1,395 starts, including wins in the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes. Race along with author Lisa J. Hall as she pays homage to these equine champions and an Aiken legacy.
