520 "After a number of up-the-track finishes by authors trying
to emulate the success of Laura Hillenbrand's bestselling
Seabiscuit: An American Legend, a worthy successor has at
last broken out of the pack . . .Winkfield's story is so
incredible you'll find yourself wondering why you've never
heard it before." --MSNBC "One of the most extraordinary
stories in sports history is also one of its least known.
Jimmy Winkfield was a gifted jockey and a remarkably
intrepid man, and his life was a singular adventure. His
is a story of persistence, hardship, and triumph, and it
should be long remembered."-Laura Hillenbrand, author of
Seabiscuit: An American Legend "In the entire sweep of
American sports, from the days of a roistering John L.
Sullivan in the 19th Century through the Tiger Woods
phenomenon of the 21st, no figure made a bolder and more
original odyssey of his life than Jimmy Winkfield, the
poor son of former slaves whose brilliance as a jockey
bore him from the winner's circle at the Kentucky Derby to
the royal courts of Czarist Russia and the Austro-
Hungarian Empire and from Kaiser Wilhelm's Germany to the
salons of Paris. In Wink, author Ed Hotaling skilfully
reports and chronicles Winkfield's battles against racism
in the New World--his courage and daring in escaping that
most implacable of foes--and his success and rise to glory
as a rider and then a trainer in the Old World. The tale
of Wink is an illuminating and inspiring read." -William
Nack, author of Secretariat: The Making of a Champion, and
My Turf: Horses, Boxers, Blood Money and the Sporting Life
"It is phenomenal enough that Jimmy Winkfield became a
dominant force in American horse racing half a century
before Jackie Robinson took the field for the Brooklyn
Dodgers. But this two-time Kentucky Derby-winner's
adventures after leaving to race overseas make his story
all the more compelling. Ed Hotaling has a marvelous tale
to tell. This is the stuff of great nonfiction."-Douglas
Brinkley, author of Tour of Duty: John Kerry and the
Vietnam War "In this fine book, Ed Hotaling adds the
texture of a rich individual life to what his previous
work has already told us about the great black jockeys of
a century ago."-Henry Louis Gates, Jr., bestselling author,
Chair of the Department of African and African American
Studies and Director of the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for
African and African American Research at Harvard
University
