"An insider's stunning account of the corrupt practices that
threaten both the horses and the game . . . an engrossing read."
--"Minneapolis Star-Tribune"""
Jim Squires was in trouble. He was in the horse business, an
enterprise seemingly intent on committing suicide, led over the
cliff by visionless leaders. A clannish group called "the Dinnies"
had long refused to share power, as vast overproduction and
unbridled greed created a subprime-like bubble in the market.
Overpriced animals of dubious quality and drug-enhanced performance
on the track were undermining the integrity of competition and
ultimately the very breed itself. With its economic model broken,
its tawdry sales practices under attack, and its public image in
tatters, the sport was overdue for a reckoning.
"Headless Horsemen" is Squires's critique of what is happening
to the sport and the animals he loves, as he and a small group of
unlikely heroes agitate for a return to fair dealing. For anyone
who cares about the soul and survival of horse racing, this book is
an impassioned call to arms.
