This was a thoroughly researched biography on Jimmy "Wink" Winkfield, professional jockey. I don't know much about horse racing, and I'm certainly not a big fan of the sport, but this was a good biography. It does cover his entire life, but it focuses mostly on the portion of his career when he attempted to three-peat in the Kentucky Derby. I recommend that you give it a try. ( )

Born into an African American sharecropping family in 1880s Kentucky, Jimmy Winkfield grew up loving horses. The large, powerful animals inspired little Jimmy to think big. Looking beyond his family's farm, he longed for a life riding on action-packed racetracks around the world. Like his hero, the great Isaac Murphy, Jimmy 'Wink' Winkfield would stop at nothing to make it as a jockey. Though his path to success was wrought with obstacles both on the track and off, Wink faced each challenge with passion and a steadfast spirit. Along the way he carved out a lasting legacy as one of history's finest horsemen and the last African American ever to win the Kentucky Derby. The Last Black King of the Kentucky Derby brings to life a vivacious hero from a little-known chapter of American sports history. Readers are transported trackside to witness the heart-pounding story of a vibrant young man chasing down his dream. This book would be great for the upper grade levels. We could talk about how he this story is based on a real person. We can also talk about the history of the Kentucky Derby. Finally, we can talk about what we want to be when we grow up or what we wish that we could do. Great book for a lot of great discussions!
