Biographies & Memoirs

In over four decades of sportswriting, Billy Reed has covered virtually every major sporting event in America. But nothing means as much to him as the Kentucky Derby. He has become something of an authority on the race, not just because he loves it, but because he has covered it so closely for so long. He has met and written about most of the personalities, celebrities, trainers, owners, and horses that have added such drama and intrigue to the first Saturday in May. 
Now he has compiled 23 of his favorite stories, selected from his columns in The Courier-Journal, the Lexington Herald-Leader, and Sports Illustrated. In them you will read about the great horses – Northern Dancer, Secretariat, Alydar, Spectacular Bid, Canonero; the colorful trainers – Johnny Campo, Woody Stephens, Buddy Delp, and the current Three Amigos Bob Baffert, D. Wayne Lukas and Nick Zito; and interesting owners – Bob and Beverly Lewis, W.T. Young, and Arthur Hancock, to name a few. These are 23 slices of Derby life, told in inimitable Reed style. 
Complementing the stories is a Preface by Tom Hammond, Kentucky’s native son who now is one of the nation’s premier sportscasters and the host of NBC’s coverage of the Kentucky Derby.
