About the author
Lynn S Renau was educated at the University of Louisville. She worked at the Kentucky Derby Museum as curator until a Churchill Downs executive told her that no matter what research she did, no woman would ever write a history of their racetrack. Thankfully, he was proved wrong when Renau wrote Racing around Kentucky (1995), republished and revised as Jockeys, Belles and Bluegrass Kings. It is a look at racing in Kentucky: its history, people and culinary traditions. She’s also written a horse story, Freebee, the fictionalised autobiography of an Arab horse.
