The world of Thoroughbred horse racing is much more than the
glitz-and-glamour Saturday races shown on TV. From Sunday through
Friday, there are a myriad of horses who run, not for million
dollar purses, but in the smaller claiming races that keep
horse-racing alive and financially viable. On these same days,
there are the bettors, owners, trainers and jockeys who form the
backbone of horse-racing with their less-than-glamorous livelihood.
This volume presents a non-fiction insider's look at today's sport
of Thoroughbred racing from a day-to-day, behind-the-scenes vantage
point. Divided into three sections, it discusses the racing,
breeding and jockeying which is the reality of Thoroughbred racing.
From trainers and jockeys to the editor of the Illinois Racing
News, men and women well versed in the sport provide firsthand
insight and experience regarding the actualities of Thoroughbred
racing. Selected racing records and an extensive glossary of horse
racing terms are also included.
