In the ruthless and often violent world of cheap horse racing live the trainers and jockeys, grooms and hotwalkers, as well as the loan sharks — all struggling to take an edge, prove their luck, or simply survive. Called “equal parts Nathanael West, Damon Runyon, and Eudora Welty”, the book follows five characters -- scarred and lonely dreamers in the American grain -- through a year and four races at outlet Indian Mound Downs, downriver from Wheeling, West Virginia.
