Book Synopsis Out of the Clouds by : Linda Carroll
Download or read book Out of the Clouds written by Linda Carroll and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2018-05-29 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the bestselling tradition ofthe The Eighty-Dollar Champion, the propulsive, inspiring Cinderella story of Stymie, an unwanted Thoroughbred, and Hirsch Jacobs, the once dirt-poor trainer who bought the colt on the cheap and molded him into the most popular horse of his time and the richest racehorse the world had ever seen. In the wake of World War II, as turmoil and chaos were giving way to a spirit of optimism, Americans were looking for inspiration and role models showing that it was possible to start from the bottom and work your way up to the top-and they found it in Stymie, the failed racehorse plucked from the discard heap by trainer Hirsch Jacobs. Like Stymie, Jacobs was a commoner in "The Sport of Kings," a dirt-poor Brooklyn city slicker who forged an unlikely career as racing's winningest trainer by buying cheap, unsound nags and magically transforming them into winners. The $1,500 pittance Jacobs paid to claim Stymie became history's biggest bargain as the ultimate iron horse went on to run a whopping 131 races and win 25 stakes, becoming the first Thoroughbred ever to earn more than $900,000. The Cinderella champion nicknamed "The People's Horse" captivated the masses with his rousing charge-from-behind stretch runs, his gritty blue-collar work ethic, and his rags-to-riches success story. In a golden age when horse racing rivaled baseball and boxing as America's most popular pastime, he was every bit as inspiring a sports hero as Joe DiMaggio and Joe Louis. Taking readers on a crowd-pleasing ride with Stymie and Jacobs, Out of the Clouds -- the winner of the Dr. Tony Ryan Book Award -- unwinds a real-life Horatio Alger tale of a dauntless team and its working-class fans who lived vicariously through the stouthearted little colt they embraced as their own.

Book excerpt: I'm from a small town called Shreveport Louisiana" Cooper Rd" to be exact. Born in Parkland Hospital ( Dallas Texas) but all I know is Shreveport Louisiana. I wrote this book for my children and hopefully their children's children. Generation of my bloodline after I'm long gone. I didn't want anyone else to write or tell my story so I decided to do it and tell myself. Besides God, I was the only character there at all times. It wasn't easy growing up in them concrete jungles of Shreveport Louisiana. Poverty everywhere, as far as the eye could see. All we had was each other. We called it family. Everything was about prayer and God. Thunder and lightning outside don't make no noise. Take your hat off in the house and don't sweep nobody's foot with that broom. This book is for my children who I love with all of my heart and soul. I don't be around them like I wish I could because of their mom, but that's ok I'm learning to deal with it. It's not easy at all, half the time I feel broken. Depressed. The very reason for this book. I hope my son's grow up to be good well mannered men, and I hope that my only daughter grows up to be the angel that I always dreamed she'd be. I hope she takes her time and be patient. Daddy loves you. Always have and always will and there ain't nothing on this earth that you can do about it. Have fun and enjoy life. Remember God, and remember peace. Leave you all with just two little words:" Take Plenty"! Have no idea of where am at or where I'm going but I hope this letter finds all of you in the best of health. If God is with you, then who on earth can stand up against you. Peace

Download or read book Crazy Good written by Charles Leerhsen and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-05-20 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hundred years ago, the most famous athlete in America was a horse. But Dan Patch was more than a sports star; he was a cultural icon in the days before the automobile. Born crippled and unable to stand, he was nearly euthanized. For a while, he pulled the grocer's wagon in his hometown of Oxford, Indiana. But when he was entered in a race at the county fair, he won -- and he kept on winning. Harness racing was the top sport in America at the time, and Dan, a pacer, set the world record for the mile. He eventually lowered the mark by four seconds, an unheard-of achievement that would not be surpassed for decades. America loved Dan Patch, who, though kind and gentle, seemed to understand that he was a superstar: he acknowledged applause from the grandstands with a nod or two of his majestic head and stopped as if to pose when he saw a camera. He became the first celebrity sports endorser; his name appeared on breakfast cereals, washing machines, cigars, razors, and sleds. At a time when the highest-paid baseball player, Ty Cobb, was making $12,000 a year, Dan Patch was earning over a million dollars. But even then horse racing attracted hustlers, cheats, and touts. Drivers and owners bet heavily on races, which were often fixed; horses were drugged with whiskey or cocaine, or switched off with "ringers." Although Dan never lost a race, some of his races were rigged so that large sums of money could change hands. Dan's original owner was intimidated into selling him, and America's favorite horse spent the second half of his career touring the country in a plush private railroad car and putting on speed shows for crowds that sometimes exceeded 100,000 people. But the automobile cooled America's romance with the horse, and by the time he died in 1916, Dan was all but forgotten. His last owner, a Minnesota entrepreneur gone bankrupt, buried him in an unmarked grave. His achievements have faded, but throughout the years, a faithful few kept alive the legend of Dan Patch, and in Crazy Good, Charles Leerhsen travels through their world to bring back to life this fascinating story of triumph and treachery in small-town America and big-city racetracks.
