Jennifer Kelly fell in love with horse racing as a child, after reading Walter Farley’s Black Stallion series and watching the filly Winning Colors beat the boys in the 1988 Kentucky Derby. A lifelong reader and writer, she took her passion for the written word to the classroom, teaching both first-year composition and technical writing for over a decade.

Currently, Jennifer is working on her next book, Foxes of Belair, where she will explore the lives and careers of both Gallant Fox and Omaha, America’s second and third Triple Crown winners.
