In the Winner's Circle the Jones Boys of Calumet Farm by Joe Hirsch & Gene Plowden
Here is a slice of the glory days of American racing, when the mighty Citation and other memorable stars such as Armed, Bewitch, Twilight Tear, Ponder, Whirlaway, Pensive, Coaltown, Iron Liege, Real Delight, and others carried the world-famed red and blue colors of Calumet Farm with rare distinction.
This is the story of the men who developed and trained these Cracks: Plain Ben Jones of Missouri, regarded by many as the greatest trainer in the history of the American Turf and his son, Jimmy Jones, a Hall of Fame trainer in his own right. Between them they saddled eight winners of the Kentucky Derby – a feat without parallel.
Before they went to work for Warren Wright, the baking powder magnate with a penchant for perfection in all of his activities, the Joneses trained their own horses at the bush-league tracks of Mid-America, the original leaky roof circuit. Colorful tales of yesteryear, abounding with memories of cheerful rogues, bets won and lost, barnside repasts of Mulligan stew, and encounters with Pancho Villa and his merry men tumble chapter after chapter.
This is the America we recall with such affection, an era of rugged individualism when each man stood or fell by his own devices. The Jones boys of Missouri were two of the most rugged, the most individualistic of them all, battling in barrooms, leaving town one step ahead of the sheriff on more than one occasion.
The romance of racing and a rich tapestry of a bygone time come alive in this engaging book.
