What does it take to be a Kentucky Derby-winning
jockey? Find out first-hand in Thunder and Reins.
This heart-pounding DVD takes you around the Churchill Downs track on
the first Saturday in May with seven of the sport's most notable
winners. Featuring Gary Stevens, Craig Perret, Pat Day, Jerry Bailey, Kent
Desormeaux, Jose Santos, and Mike Smith, this is one of the most
captivating DVDs we've seen.
You'll see these jockeys' Derby victories and hear what was going
through their heads as they crossed the finish line. You'll also view
some of the difficult moments of their careers - tumbles and injuries
that are the definition of 'dangerous job.'
Racing writers Joe Drape and Billy Reed elaborate on the difficult
job that makes jockeys some of the toughest athletes around. Trainers,
including John Ward, Carl Nafzger, and others, explain the qualities it
takes to be a good jockey. Wives Rita Santos and Sheila Day
share how they deal with the day-to-day dangers and successes of their
husbands' jobs.
Poignant stories and stellar racing footage make this
a must-have DVD for every Thoroughbred fan. |
