Tod Sloan (1915) is a book written by the American jockey, Tod Sloan, which provides an autobiographical account of his life and career. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different period of Sloan's life, starting with his childhood and early years in racing and ending with his eventual retirement from the sport.Throughout the book, Sloan provides a detailed and candid account of his experiences as a jockey, including his successes and failures, as well as his relationships with other jockeys, trainers, and owners. He also discusses the challenges he faced as a jockey, such as injuries and the pressure to maintain a certain weight.In addition to his personal experiences, Sloan also provides insight into the history of horse racing during the early 20th century, including the evolution of racing equipment and the changing attitudes towards jockeys and their role in the sport.Overall, Tod Sloan (1915) is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of horse racing or the life of one of its most iconic figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
