Parting Glass Racing Meeting!
	Date: Aug 21, 2008 Time: 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM Contact: Tom Gallo Edgar Prado & his co-author, John Eisenberg, will discuss and sign their new book 'My Guy Barbaro'. Edgar Prado is one of the world's premier jockeys, with almost six thousand wins, including the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes. Prado was there when a new superstar appeared on the American sports landscape in the spring of 2006: Barbaro, a three-year-old racehorse, won the Kentucky Derby by six and a half lengths, the largest margin of victory in sixty years. Barbaro's impressive performance immediately stirred talk of a possible Triple Crown. But in the opening yards of the Preakness Stakes two weeks later, the horse suffered a catastrophic leg injury that ended his undefeated career and left him fighting for his life. Prado rode Barbaro to glory and then stood beside him for months as the horse valiantly struggled to survive and millions of fans held their breath. Having ridden in more than twenty-five thousand races over the previous two decades, Prado thought he had been around too long to fall for any one horse, but Barbaro-intelligent, charismatic, and resourceful in sickness as well as in health-stole his heart. In My Guy Barbaro, Prado recounts his own story, a tale of grit and dreams that moves from his impoverished childhood in Lima, Peru, to the winner's circles of the greatest racetracks in the world, and memorably chronicles his emotional time with Barbaro before, during, and after the horse's breakdown. Prado's co-author, John Eisenberg, was a sports columnist for The Baltimore Sun for 23 years until 2007. He has authored six books of sports-themed nonfiction, most recently 'My Guy Barbaro.' Eisenberg also authored 3 other horse-related books: 'The Great Match Race,' about the first major sports event in American history, 'The Longest Shot: Lil E. Tee and the Kentucky Derby', and 'Native Dancer, the Grey Ghost: Hero of a Golden Age.' Renowned equine artist Erica Nordean will show and discuss her work.
