The Last Black King of the Kentucky Derby
Review
By Turf Luck
The Last Black King of the Kentucky Derby captures the thrill of racing in an accurate telling of the legendary jockey in language that’s accessible to the mid-elementary school set. The illustrations by Robert McGuire are . . . beguiling, especially when depicting quiet moments, such as Wink and his 1900 mount, Thrive, alone in front of Churchill’s famous spires. —Turf Luck</i>
