But when his employer offers him a chance to race in Sarasota, New York, where black jockeys are recognized for their accomplishments, Gabriel is hesitant. He feels as though he should be fighting the rebels, like his father, and he’s not sure he has the skill or experience to compete in the big leagues. With some convincing from his mother, his boss, and the girl he likes, Gabriel agrees to go. Immorality in racing turns out not to be exclusive to the South, and Gabriel must fight to protect his colt and run the race he knows they can win. Topics Life after slavery. Jockeys.
