Gangsters and Gin Drinkers, Midgets and Touts ...
When you're around Thoroughbreds, "going to the races" involves so much more
than a horse, a saddle, and a jockey. Sometimes you're doing well if you even
get to see the race!
Dogwood Stables owner Cot Campbell has experienced everything from the absurd
to the touching during his years of "going to the races." In Rascals and
Racehorses, he tells of old-time horsemen such as trainers Ben and Jimmy
Jones, jockey Eddie Arcaro and Leslie Combs, master of Spendthrift Farm.
You'll laugh and you'll cry as Campbell tells the stories of Summer Squall,
Bill Shoemaker, Black Gold, Warner Jones and others. Entertaining and lively,
witty and candid, this book is a "must read."
