Wenn wir uns ihm anvertrauen, zeigt es uns den Weg zu dem Ort, wo Schönheit und Frieden wohnen. Die Reise dorthin kann lang und beschwerlich sein. Wichtig aber ist es, diesen Weg zu gehen. Wir sollten auf dieser Reise niemals nach einfachen Lösungen suchen. Reiten ist Lebensschule. Sie formt nicht nur das Pferd, sondern auch uns.

Muriel, newly married and newly orphaned, works as a waitress in a San Diego diner. As she pours coffee and empties ashtrays, she eavesdrops on her customers, the ex-jockeys and trainers of the Del Mar racetrack.

Veteran turf writer and racing historian Edward L. Bowen takes us through the rich history of one of the most formidable and exciting challenges in all of sport.
