Publisher's Synopsis

Winner of the Kentucky Derby in 1901 and 1902, he was banned from American racing because he was black

He raced to fortune and fame Europe but was driven from Russia by the Bolsheviks and from France by the Nazis. He could have been the greatest. Maybe he was.

This is his story...Set against a backdrop of horse racing, the Bolshevik Revolution, two world wars, and twentieth-century racism, Wink has an epic, Zhivago-esque sweep.
