“We got up at four in the morning, that first day in the east. On the evening before we had climbed off a freight train at the edge of town, and with the true instinct of Kentucky boys had found our way across town and to the race track and the stables at once. Then we knew we were all right.”

“It’s so strange coming to Kentucky from California. Like I'm visiting another country. Your secret histories. Social taboos. Folk garb.”
