Around Kentucky With The Bug

By Gilligan Lawrence Patrick

Professional sport, emigration, travel, history, horses, American Pharoah's Triple Crown, winners, losers, ups and downs. Laughter and tears. An account of a father's whirlwind year around Kentucky with his apprentice (bug) jockey son.

A story about fathers and sons. A story about professional sport, and what it takes to make the grade. A story about love, life, traveling and reflecting. And there is even a bit about restrooms.

"So I tell Patrick he can't train and he goes and wins a group race with a 500 horse. Then I say he can't write and he comes up with a gem like this. Oh, and that bug can ride a bit too." --Ed Prosser, European representative Keeneland and formerly race writer and racehorse owner in the UK
