Fiction. When tough, self-made construction mogul and thoroughbred owner Pat McGoohey hires the smooth, talented, mahogany-skinned Len Thomas as his trainer, he breaks with longstanding protocol, taking Len across the color line into a rapidly accelerating adventure of crime, romance, racing and race. "America is a country in which the complexity of the truth runs so contradictory to clichés that it can always seem revolutionary just by being itself. What Barney Rostaing has achieved here is something so free of clichés about minorities, women, and privileged men that we are continually startled by his authority and insight. In the process, he almost reinvents the heist tale as a commentary on contemporary life as it is actually lived"--Stanley Crouch.
