The little book of horse racing law

Sinopse

"The horse racing crowd is comprised of colorful, passionate people: where else can you find a mixture of farmhands, jockeys, old money, and gamblers? And when you force such an unruly world of disparate and singular people into the structure and formality of the legal system, you get a fascinating array of events and decisions. In twenty-one chapters covering everything from drugs to syndicates to cloning, The Little Book of Horse Racing Law thoroughly covers the intersection of law and racing, including: the 1913 Epsom Derby; women's suffragettes, titanic villains, and the race before Armageddon; the invention of a betting system: parimutuel wagering transforms racing; kicking the bad guys off the track; the chemist comes to the racetrack; Dancer's Image and the 1968 Kentucky Derby: was the run for the roses drugged; rights of publicity of horses and jockeys; investing in horse racing syndicates: the law; why can't I sue that guy for running into my horse during a race?; cloning race horses. Mix yourself a mint julep and enjoy this compelling and entertaining look at the history and legality of one of the world's proudest pastimes"--Unedited summary from book cover.
