In an attempt to figure out why his career has ended up the way it has, Jack reaches out to one of the game's greatest former players for advice.

  Races Games and Olympic Dreams -...

  In sports, not all the long shots who succeed are athletes. In 1984, Tom Hammond, a forty-year-old sportscaster who had primarily worked in Kentucky and the Southeast, got an unlikely opportunity to appear on the NBC Sports telecast of the inaugural Breeders' Cup. Assigned to report from the stall area on what was supposed to be a single broadcast, Hammond performed so well that an NBC executive offered him a chance to call NFL games on the spot. That broadcast launched Hammond's thirty-four-year career with NBC Sports and his rise to the top levels of American television sportscasting. Along with cowriter Mark Story, Hammond pulls back the curtain to reveal how a Kentucky native who started out reading horse racing results on Lexington radio went on to broadcast from thirteen Olympic Games. 
   
   
   
  While covering Thoroughbred racing for NBC, Hammond broadcast sixteen Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes races and eleven runnings of the Belmont Stakes, including American Pharoah's historic 2015 Triple Crown victory. Hammond offers glimpses into his time as the play-by-play voice for Notre Dame football, calling NBA and NFL games, and his long-running stint announcing Southeastern Conference men's basketball for the league's syndicated TV package. Races, Games, and Olympic Dreams is an intimate and gripping look at Hammond's experiences.

  Riding for America is a story about a mother's sacrifice and inspiration as she guides her only son, Isaac Burns Murphy, to become the highest-paid and most successful sports icon of the 19th century. 
  Although both of Isaac's parents, America Murphy and Jerry Burns, were born into slavery-and Jerry fought in some of the most decisive battles of the Civil War-Isaac was able to overcome challenges and become the "Prince of Jockeys." Isaac was known for his intellect, strategy, good sportsmanship, and kindness to the horses he cared for and rode to victory. A few of his notable wins and accomplishments include three Kentucky Derbys, four of five American Derbys, and the first photo finish in American sports history-a match race between a White and a Black rider. 
  Readers will learn about a Black horse trainer named Eli Jordan, who coached Isaac to become the first jockey inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame. 
  A page-turner and a quick read, Riding for America moves at a fast pace with unpredictable twists and turns that keep readers on the edge of their seats throughout. 
  Educational, entertaining, and historically significant, Riding for America is a journey of excitement filled with tenderness and a love of literature, life, animals, mothers, teachers, spouses, and friends. 
  Isaac Murphy was a superstar with class, sophistication, and impeccable integrity. His life exemplifies perseverance and triumph against unimaginable odds. Isaac was a great American. He deserves to be remembered and celebrated as one of the most extraordinary sports heroes in U.S. history.
