Reviews
No one who has seen it will ever forget the sight of horses coming through the morning mist a sight the women interviewed here list as one of the perks of their early-rising jobs. John McEvoy (Great Horseracing Mysteries: True Tales from the Track) is a former writer/editor with the Daily Racing Form, while daughter Julia, an independent writer and producer, has won the Eclipse Award for Best Radio Coverage of Thoroughbred Racing. Their book provides interviews with a wide range of women, from landed gentry to migrant workers. In addition to the voices of women jockeys, grooms, trainers, and veterinarians, we hear from women clockers, chart callers, and pari-mutuel clerks whose jobs are little known outside the racing business. Though their perspectives vary, these women all share a love of horses and a belief in hard work. Readers who liked Scooter Toby Davidson and Valerie Anthony's Great Women in the Sport of Kings: America's Top Women Jockeys Tell Their Stories (LJ 4/1/99) and Joe Drape's The Race for the Triple Crown (LJ 4/15/01) will like this book. Highly recommended for collections in horse racing, women's studies, and vocations. Patsy E. Gray, Huntsville P.L., AL
