"Classic Lines is divided into five sections, each headed by one of the stallions the author believes has made an outstanding contribution to modern thoroughbred racing." - excerpt from the Introduction.

"For more than 30 years Richard Stone Reeves has been considered the finest painter of the thoroughbred racehorse in the world...the task of this volume has been...to coordinate into a fine and intricate pattern the widely diverse years of the artist's career in North America, England, Ireland, and France; secondly, to trace and relate the Classic bloodlines which produced the champions he painted; and thirdly, to delve into the rich, enlightening histories of these champions and the men and women wo owned, trained, rode and cared for them." - also an excerpt from the Introduction.
