Cloth. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. First Edition. FIRST PRINTING. "Jockeys perform the most perilous job in sports yet are among the most underrated athletes in the world. They put their lives on the line every time they get on a horse, often riding seven or eight horses a day, five days a week. Most must diet to keep their weight at levels lower than the average twelve-year-old boy, yet they need immense strength to control thousand-pound thoroughbreds." Numerous full-color photographic illustrations (many full-page) with accompanying descriptive captions. "Pat Day, Gary Stevens, Jerry Bailey, Corey Nakatani, and Laffit Pincay Jr. are among the jockeys who share their stories of how they became race riders and what it is like to deal with the pressures of riding fragile, willful racehorses at top speeds day in and day out, keeping off weight, and coping with the reality of injury. In 'Ride of Their Lives' several of the jockeys reveal their struggles with substance abuse. They also tell what it is like to win the Kentucky Derby and just miss capturing the Triple Crown." Other contributing jockey stories include those of Chris Antley, Russell Baze, Jorge Chavez, Eddie Delahoussaye, Kent Desonmeaux, Mark Guidry, Chris McCarron, Mike Smith, and Patrick Valenzuela. 252 pages followed by a page of advertisements for other Eclipse Press horse and horseracing publications. Minor bump to top of DJ spine, elsewise a fine, bright, clean, tight, scholar/collector-worthy copy! *NOTE: Additional shipping required for out-of-U.S. shipment! GFC1.
