“Riders Up”, written by Louis F. Hildebrandt, is a historical non-fiction autobiography about one man’s life as a jockey on the horseracing circuit, years 1936-1947.

He details his years working with the Sanford Stud Farms, Amsterdam, New York working for Hall of Fame Trainer Hollie Hughes; riding during World War II at Fort Robinson, Nebraska; his love of the “Sport of Kings” and his special relationship with two horses, Vintage Port and Round View.

With nearly one hundred photographs and fascinating tales of racing, “Riders Up” traces the life of a jockey during the 30’s and 40’s, and examines his winning, losing, injuries and heartache.

Dedicated to the memory of the Sanford Stud Farm and its staff, their camaraderie, their friendship and their loyalty to and their love of the sport of thoroughbred horseracing, “Riders Up” provides fond memories of an era long since past, a legacy to be treasured and never forgotten.
