Jockey: the Rider's Life in American Thoroughbred Racing
Scott A. Gruender
Being a jockey is more than a career, it's a way of life. Often viewed as second-rate athletes, partly because of their small size, these riders are in actuality some of the toughest men in the athletic world. This book looks at the self-employed, independent contractor known as the jockey and the all-encompassing culture of the race track.
