Description:"First-Time Starter" was a semi-finalist for the 2020 Dr. Tony Ryan Book Award. This prestigious award honors excellence in thoroughbred racing literature.From the bestselling author of "Black Deuce" comes the novelette "First-Time Starter."A trainer, an old cowboy from Nebraska, who somehow stays one win photo ahead of the feed man. A gallop boy who’s afraid of horses. A groom who believes in a horse everyone else has given up on. A hard-drinking jockey, once a superstar, who still has the hands of a virtuoso. A filly who’s at war with everything that walks on two legs. And this is their story…“I wrote "First-Time Starter" for the same reason a jockey sits in the hotbox. For the same reason grooms, hotwalkers and gallop boys and girls work seven days a week. For the same reason a trainer studies a condition book as if it’s holy. For the same reason an owner keeps paying bills on a horse that can’t find the winner’s circle. I wrote "First-Time Starter" because I love horses and racing. And with this story, I do my humble best to convince the reader they should too.”~Stan D. JensenAbout the AuthorStan D.
