Forced from American horse racing in 1903 by racism and hard times,
two-time Kentucky Derby winner Jimmy Winkfield won every major
European race and earned two dazzling fortunes - only to lose one
in the Bolshevik Revolution and another in the Nazi invasion of
France. In this captivating biography, historian Ed Hotaling traces
Wink's extraordinary odyssey from shoeshine boy through the epochal
events of the 20th century. 'One of the most extraordinary stories
in sports history' - Laura Hillenbrand, author of "Seabiscuit".
'This may be the most fascinating untold sports story in American
history' - Charles Osgood, anchor, "CBS News Sunday Morning".
