In this book Gypsy, Horsemen, Trumps and Thieves, I have taken three real-life stories and woven them into one book. The book starts out on a poor man's farm just outside Winchester, Kentucky, in September 1953.A fifteen-year-old boy Dewey "Pappy" Beauchamp puts all his faith in a ten-month-old black thoroughbred colt named Mountain Cat. The colt is all Dewey Beauchamp has to work with and hold onto. The majority of the book takes place from May 1999 through November 1999. Instead of separating the book by chapters, I used the days of the calendar to track the story. In the horse racing world, things can change in a heartbeat. You learn to keep your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut. It is not the life for the faint of heart. A wise man told me when I first started racing horses, "Son, there is a hell of a lot more bad luck, then there is good luck in the race horse business." He was right, but when good luck shows up, it's contagious. Enjoy the story, my friends. It has been written and lived with a Texas heartbeat. I would personally like to thank Jesus for all my blessings and his saving grace. I would have been lost without it. God bless, America!
