About This Audiobook

Unnatural Ability is a gripping expose that peels back the glamorous facade of horse racing to reveal a sordid underbelly of doping and corruption. Author Milton C. Toby, a veteran journalist, deftly weaves a compelling narrative around the high-profile scandal involving Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert, whose horses repeatedly tested positive for banned substances. Toby's concise, no-nonsense prose makes for a punchy listen, while narrator Barry Abrams' steady, measured delivery adds gravitas to the proceedings. This isn't just a tale of scandal; it's a stark exploration of power, greed, and the lengths some will go to for victory.

Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas

Barry Abrams' narration is a standout feature of this audiobook. His calm, assured voice lulls you into a false sense of security, only to jolt you awake with his impassioned delivery of Toby's damning revelations. Abrams' performance is so compelling that it almost distracts from the fact that this is a story that's been widely reported in the media. But Toby's meticulous research and sharp analysis elevate Unnatural Ability above mere tabloid fodder. The pacing is excellent, building to a crescendo with the 2021 Kentucky Derby scandal. However, I found the sections detailing the science behind the drugs a tad dense. Overall, though, this is a riveting listen that'll leave you questioning the integrity of the sport.
