{"product_id":"9781514482568","title":"Call to Post","description":"It is about the many facets of the horse racing industry: the horses, trainers, and grooms who care for them on the backside; a labor of love, not just a job; the exercise riders, jockeys; the fans; and the aspiration of Sherry, a young girl, to become a jockey, a challenging goal in the face of a male-dominated sport. Her mother died when she was young, so her father, who was a jockey, brought her with him to the racetrack in the morning. There is a close relationship between Sherry; Pop, the trainer; Tom, her father; Curley, her father’s agent; and Manuel, a young Mexican boy, who grooms Jimbo, the horse that is a catalyst that holds them all together. The book encompasses the problems faced in caring for Sherry when Tom is killed in a racing accident.","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47144105476336,"sku":"9781514482568","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781514482568_p0.jpg?v=1763726975","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781514482568","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
