Randy Romero's Remarkable Ride

"Bill Heller is among the most prolific of American turf writers, and he is at his best in Randy Romero's Remarkable Ride, a fascinating chronicle of the jockey's peak-and-valley existence both in and out of the saddle, from the abuse he suffered at the hands of his father to a soaring career shot through with accidents, injuries, and illness. In spite of all this, Romero rose to become one of America's leading riders. It is all in Heller's book-the pain, the glory, the triumph over adversity."
-William Nack, seven-time Eclipse Award recipient and author of Secretariat: The Making of a Champion

"Randy Romero has long been acknowledged as an outstanding jockey, but Bill Heller's well-researched, very interesting biography puts Randy's life and career in the proper context. Considering what life has dealt him, Randy's accomplishments are even more impressive. It's a story of grit, talent, and bravery. A remarkable ride indeed."
-Mike Kane, former communications officer, National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame

"Bill Heller has done a wonderful job of portraying the very interesting and intriguing life of Randy Romero."
-Shug McGaughey, Hall of Fame trainer
