A remarkable ultimately inspiring true life story...' - Wisconsin Bookwatch Read more From the Author 'Metro Meteor is still a racehorse. It's written on his bones and in his heart. He has lived his life fast and on fire. Some days he seems more jackass than horse. But there are other days, the days when he stands in front of his easel, picks up a paintbrush dipped in bright colors and strokes it across a canvas to make something beautiful. That's when he seems like something more.' Read more From the Inside Flap Metro Meteor was an extroverted, temperamental, demanding Thoroughbred with $300,000 in winnings. Then he developed bone chips in his knees and seemed, like so many other thoroughbred racehorses, destined for the slaughterhouse. Then he met Ron Krajewski, an introverted Gulf War Air Force veteran who hid in his art studio, painting dog and cat portraits. Ron's world changed forever when he and his wife, Wendy, adopted Metro. A true story of second chances, unlikely friendship, and the nature of art. Read more From the Back Cover 'Wendy and I left reluctantly and hurried to the rail, not wanting to miss the starting bell. The race was a short one, just five furlongs, and it was over in less than a minute. Metro Meteor lagged and finished in sixth place, never even close to winning.'I stayed to watch the horses as they cantered easily along the rail on their way back to the barn. Metro was one of the last in and I noticed his jockey was trotting him, not having him canter like the other horses. Metro bobbed his head up and down as he passed slowly by and I had a flash of insight. Is Metro in pain?'I wasn't the only one on the rail. Other people were standing in the tangle of discarded race tickets as they watched the horses come back in. Someone nearby spoke up as Metro limped by His tone was observational, jaded, like he had seen it all. 'Looks like that one is done being a horse.''� Read more About the Author Ron Krajewski, a professional artist, took up drawing to pass the time while stationed with the Air Force in Saudi Arabia during the first Gulf War.
