Description

I Hope I Break Even, I Could Use the Money is a book of black and white photographs taken at Aqueduct Racetrack by NYC photographer Larry Racioppo. In a short accompanying essay, Larry describes a day spent there with his father and uncle who, like the majority of people at the track, were blue collar workers looking for a "score" to supplement their income.

Author Biography:

Larry Racioppo is the author of several previous books of photography. He received a 1997 Guggenheim Fellowship in Photography and grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, New York State Council on the Arts and the Graham Foundation. Racioppo's photographs are in numerous collections, including the Museum of the City of New York, the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Public Library and the National September 11 Memorial and Museum. Joe Bianca is an ownership advisor for West Point Thoroughbreds, a Thoroughbred racing syndicate in racing history, which has raced horses in New York for decades. Before that, he spent seven years as a writer/editor and podcast host at Thoroughbred Daily News, a leading industry publication. He fell in love with the horses when New York-bred Funny Cide hit the wire first in the 2003 Kentucky Derby, carrying with him Joe’s winning trifecta ticket.
