About the Author
John Eisenberg, a sports columnist for the Baltimore Sun, has won more than twenty awards for his sports writing.
From Library Journal
This is an inspiring account of the victory of Lil E. Tee in the 1992 Kentucky Derby. Born with an undistinguished pedigree in a minor breeding state (Pennsylvania), surviving prolonged colic and enduring shin problems, this virtually unwanted horse triumphed over much more heralded and significantly more expensive competition. Eisenberg, a Baltimore Sun sportswriter and seasoned racing commentator, interviewed scores of people to piece together a smooth composite of this unlikely odyssey. In so doing, he creates good character profiles of many who were a part of Lil E. Tee's drama, especially the owner, trainer, and jockey at the time of the Derby. The book provides a fair glimpse into the process of a thoroughbred's development and a solid appreciation of the chancy and narrow avenue to the Kentucky Derby. Well written, enjoyable to read, and guaranteed to move many readers, this is heartily recommended.?David Van de Streek, Pennsylvania State Univ. Libs., York
