Keefer

"Keefer: The People's Choice" is the true story of a racing Greyhound's tumultuous, injury-plagued journey to domination during the 1980s. Hairline fractures and bone chips, subterfuge and jinxes, among other things, threatened Keefer's path into the history books, but he ducked and dodged, staking a claim on the come-back trail time after time, breaking records, reeling in fans and journalists with aplomb and charisma. Besides being a triumph-over-adversity narrative, the book provides a candid historical view of Greyhound racing in America a view that has too often been ignored, or skewed, by the contemporary media machine.
