Item Description
212 page hardcover is in very nice condition with light normal wear and a short inscription by a previous owner on the blank 1st page.

Racing fans, thrilled as their favorite horse thunders past on the outside coming down the stretch, may little realize the hard work done by hundreds of people to prepare for that moment. To produce winners, the owners, trainers, exercisers, and jockeys learn their horses' strengths, foibles, and peculiarities.

Krone, not the first woman jockey but the most successful and the first woman to win a Triple Crown race, gives us a jockey's-eye view of racing. She details her tomboy childhood, problems with her parents' divorce, early-career drug use, battles with fellow jockeys and the media, climb up the jockey success ladder, and horrible 1993 racetrack accident and painful, triumphant comeback.

Throughout, she credits many people who gave her opportunities to race and offers advice about racing and life.
