Summary "Recaptures the vivid sights, sensations, and illusions of nineteenth-century thoroughbred racing, America's first mass spectator sport. Inviting readers into the pageantry of the racetrack, Katherine C. Mooney conveys the sport's inherent drama while also revealing the significant intersections between horse racing and another quintessential institution of the antebellum South: slavery"--book jacket.

Prologue : The loss of the stirrup has won the race
The glory of the four-mile horse
Knowed a horse when he seed him
A storm is approaching
These are the verities
The only practical means of reunion
I ride to win
I have got that nigger beat
Epilogue : He didn't go in no back doors!
