Produktinformationen zu „Call to Post (ePub)“
It is about the many facets of the horse racing industry: the horses, trainers, and grooms who care for them on the backside; a labor of love, not just a job; the exercise riders, jockeys; the fans; and the aspiration of Sherry, a young girl, to become a jockey, a challenging goal in the face of a male-dominated sport. Her mother died when she was young, so her father, who was a jockey, brought her with him to the racetrack in the morning. There is a close relationship between Sherry; Pop, the trainer; Tom, her father; Curley, her fathers agent; and Manuel, a young Mexican boy, who grooms Jimbo, the horse that is a catalyst that holds them all together. The book encompasses the problems faced in caring for Sherry when Tom is killed in a racing accident.
Autoren-Porträt von Leon C. Harden
Active in the racing industry, he and his wife had a thoroughbred racing stable for twenty-eight years. They raced in Northern California, Southern California, Arizona, Nebraska, Iowa, and at Caliente in Mexico. They had a small horse farm, where they raised yearlings and laid-up horses from the track due to injuries or needing rest. He was born in Arkansas and retired there to be in close proximity to Oaklawn Park racetrack. He continued writing there, including a weekly column in the Sentinel-Record. He has had short stories and poetry published and entered several writing contests, winning or placing in all of them, including first place for Call to Post in the Ozark writers' conference. After his wife, Barbara, died, he moved back to Orlando and California.
