Book Description:

Dancer's Image was the clear winner of the 1968 Kentucky Derby, but a positive test post-race test for a prohibited pain killer led to the first--and so far the only--disqualification of a Derby winner. Dancer's Image: The Forgotten Story of the 1968 Kentucky Derby, is an in-depth look at the contentious race and is the first thorough  investigation into years of legal wranglings that followed the controversial outcome. Did the Derby winner actually have a banned performance enhancing medication in his system on race day or was the racing chemist incompetent and his testing procedures flawed? Author Milton C. Toby, a veteran equine journalist and attorney, takes readers on a roller-coaster ride from the race track to the courtroom as owner Peter Fuller and his attorneys fight to clear the horse's name.
