About the Book

Sex. Money. Horses. Every year, on Valentine's Day, the great Thoroughbred farms open their breeding sheds and begin their primary business. For the next one hundred and fifty days, the cries of stallions and the vigorous encouragement of their handlers echo through breeding country, from the gentle hills of Kentucky to the rich valleys of California. Stud takes us into this strange and seductive world of horse breeding. We meet the world's leading sire, Storm Cat, the Triple Crown winner, Seattle Slew, and a nearly unmanageable colt, Devil Begone, who has found peace and prosperity on the banks of the Rio Grande servicing desert mares like Patty O'Furniture. Cheap stud, top stud, old stud, wild stud, from the Hall of Fame horse to the harem stallion with his feral herd, Stud looks at intimate acts in idyllic settings and the billion-dollar business behind them.

Review :
'Elegantly written and fascinating...it's madcap world, brimming with excitement, glamour, high stakes, envy, greed, ambition, hype, dissappointments, frustrations--and luck. Mr. Conley explores them all to wonderful effect in Stud.' 'A great entertainment, a piece of vivid reporting, and a marvel of economy and wit. I read it straight through, at a gallop.' 'Conley's ability to turn the horses he studies into believable characters is uncanny...a lively ride.' 'Elegantly written and fascinating...it's a madcap world, brimming with excitement, glamour, high stakes, envy, greed, ambition, hype, dissappointments, frustrations--and luck. Mr. Conley explores them all to wonderful effect in Stud.' 'Finally, the equine love story you've been waiting for...totally engrossing.' 'Funny, insightful and surprisingly engaging...a vividly equine-centric view of social, cultural and economic human history.' 'Simply wonderful. Conley provides all the needful color commentary with cool brio and a heart-gladdening display of language.'
