Bill Hartack won the Kentucky Derby five times, and seemed to hate every moment of it. He became one of racing's most accomplished jockeys, but he was inveterate grouch and worked at giving the press a hard time. Drawn from dozens of interviews and conversations with family members, friends and enemies, this book provides a full account of Hartack's turbulent life.

George Cory and Douglass Cross wrote just one song that was successful. They were unknown before they wrote it, and unknown after it became a hit. Until now. They eked out a meagre living for fifteen years before Tony Bennett came across ""I Left My Heart in San Francisco"". Bennett's recording revived his career, and made the songwriters enormously rich.
