📙 Print edition. This book contains 250 anecdotes, including this one: Jockey Julie Krone was four-foot-eleven and weighed 100 pounds, and she worried that horse trainers would think that she wasn't strong enough to handle their horses. To solve that problem, she developed a very strong handshake. One horse trainer remembers, "This cute little girl ... comes up to me and squeaks, 'Hi! I'm Julie Krone! I'm a jockey!' and takes my hand and brings me to my knees. Well, we let her ride, and she rides like a god."
