Jock

By Charles K. Godfrey

Noble Granger leaves home as a teenager to chase his dream of becoming a jockey. Against the backdrop of the Roaring Twenties and, later, the unforgiving grip of the Great Depression, Noble navigates the sport of horse racing. He clashes not only with his arch rival, Eddy Guerrero, but also with the syndicate leader, Frank Palmer, who has a stranglehold on the sport of thoroughbred racing, where power and influence often dictate the outcome of a race.

With unyielding fortitude and fueled by ambition, Noble climbs the ranks to stand at the top of the sport. But this is more than a story of racing, it is the tale of the human spirit. When a girl named Patsy comes into his life, Noble finds true love.
Based on true events, Jock is a testament to the power of perseverance and the complexities of the heart with the ultimate goal of earning a chance to compete in the Kentucky Derby.
