Book excerpt: National award winning western and historical novelist Gary McCarthy brings together the cast from two of his most popular and long running series - The Horsemen and The Derby Man. Several years have passed since Ruff, Dixie and Houston Ballou fled Civil War-ravaged Tennessee with two of their great thoroughbred stallions and a handful of mares. The displaced Ballou family has been looking for a place to build a horse ranch and racetrack when a series of events take them to the beautiful Prescott Valley, home of Fort Whipple and Arizona's new Territorial capital. In a blinding snowstorm, Darby Buckingham is racing from Santa Fe to Prescott in order to help his longtime love, Miss Dolly. Almost at his destination he helplessly rages at his drunken stagecoach driver to slow down, but the coach overturns and leaves him in desperate circumstances until the Ballou riders and their thoroughbreds appear. And so begins a friendship and adventure in Prescott that will change the lives of these famous characters.

Download or read book Identity, Belonging, and Community in Men’s Roller Derby written by Dawn Fletcher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern roller derby has been theorised as a gendered leisure context, offering women opportunities for empowerment and growth, and enabling them to carve a space for themselves in sport. No longer a women-only sport, roller derby is now played by all genders and has been heralded as a model of inclusivity within sport. Identity, Belonging, and Community in Men’s Roller Derby offers an insight into how men’s roller derby culture is created and maintained, how members forge an identity for themselves and their team, and how they create feelings of belonging and inclusivity. Through in-depth ethnographic study of a specific, localised roller derby community, this book examines how practices of skills capital intersect with different configurations of masculinity in a continual struggle between traditional and inclusive models of sport. An interrogation of the ways a DIY sport can be seen to be achieved, experienced, and understood in everyday practice, this book will appeal to scholars of men, masculinities, and sport. Additionally, the methodological discussions will be of value to ethnographers and researchers who have had to deal with a disruptive presence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the definitive history of thoroughbred racing's three premier events, which have never before been explored in such detail. This book gives the history of America's classic races from the inaugural Belmont Stakes in 1867 through 2013, identifying which equine participants were truly worthy of lasting acclaim and which were one-hit wonders. Perhaps even more compelling are the stories of the men and women who rode, trained, owned, or bred classic winners, including their exploits on the turf and their triumphs and failures in arenas far removed from horse racing.

Book excerpt: Nominated for the Man Booker Prize, an exquisite tale of romance and rivalry, gambling and greed, from one of England’s finest writers.

Everyone’s eyes are on champion horse Tiberius, on whose performance half a dozen destinies depend.

Download or read book The Kentucky Derby written by James C. Nicholson and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2012-05-05 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year on the first Saturday in May, the world turns its attention to the twin spires of Churchill Downs for the high-stakes excitement of the "greatest two minutes in sports," the Kentucky Derby. No American sporting event can claim the history, tradition, or pageantry that the Kentucky Derby holds. For more than 130 years, spectators have been fascinated by the magnificent horses that run the Louisville track. Thoroughbreds such as Secretariat and Barbaro have earned instant international fame, along with jockeys such as Isaac Murphy, Ron Turcotte, and Calvin Borel. The Kentucky Derby: How the Run for the Roses Became America's Premier Sporting Event calls this great tradition to post and illuminates its history and culture. Rising from its humble beginnings as an American variation of England's Epsom Derby, the Kentucky Derby became a centerpiece of American sports and the racing industry, confirming Kentucky's status as the Horse Capital of the World. James C. Nicholson argues that the Derby, at its essence, is a celebration of a place, existing as a connection between Kentucky's mythic past and modern society. The Derby is more than just a horse race -- it is an experience enhanced by familiar traditions, icons, and images that help Derby fans to understand Kentucky and define themselves as Americans. Today the Kentucky Derby continues to attract international attention from royalty, celebrities, racing fans, and those who simply enjoy an icy mint julep, a fabulous hat, and a wager on who will make it to the winner's circle. Nicholson provides an intriguing and thorough history of the Kentucky Derby, examining the tradition, spectacle, culture, and evolution of the Kentucky Derby -- the brightest jewel of the Triple Crown.
