So near, yet so far. Every
jockey’s trip to the winner’s circle begins at the starting gate. It’s here that
courageous gate workers coax and cajole high-strung, high-powered Thoroughbreds
into their little green starting boxes. It’s not always a good fit. And, like
all good crafts, this job is done by hand.
