Keefer: The People's Choice

By Leslie A. Wootten

Book Overview

The true story of a racing Greyhound's tumultuous, injury-plagued, journey to domination during the 1980s. Hairline fractures and bone chips, subterfuge and jinxes, among other things, threatened Keefer's path into the history books, but he ducked and dodged, staking a claim on the come-back trail time after time, breaking records, reeling in fans and journalists with aplomb and charisma. Besides being a triumph-over-adversity narrative, the book provides a candid historical view of Greyhound racing in America--a view that has too often been ignored, or skewed, by the contemporary media machine.
