A window into early trotting culture and the people who kept racing memories alive on rainy Sundays. This collection blends personal reminiscence with racing history, offering spare, vivid scenes from the world of horses, tracks, and writers who chased stories on the wire and beyond.
Centered on a life spent behind the scenes of the sport, the book traces beginnings, notorious days at the track, and the author’s own experiences driving and observing pace, pace makers, and the people who shaped a colorful era. It reads as a mixture of memoir and historical vignette, pulling back the curtain on a pastime that fascinated a generation.
Ideal for readers curious about horse racing’s golden age and for fans of vivid, ground‑level storytelling about sport and memory.
