My Buddy, King of the Hill Frank X. Pagano Sr.

The story of my life with Howard Buddy Jacobson. Buddy was linked with one of the most notorious murder cases in New York City history. What is behind the veil of the man accused of "Murder on the Upper East Side". This is the inside scoop of his life before and after his arrest right up to his death only hours before possible new trail date. Buddy was one of the greatest horse trainers of all times setting records that still hold today. His fight against the sometime antisemitic waspy blue bloods that were out to destroy him after he led the first strike against the NYRA in support of the backstretch workers. Outside of the track he discovered a new world of glamor, sex, drugs and treachery. This is my attempt to correct many of the falsehoods and lies that have been spread about him by the envious and self serving people that really never knew him. Read this and form your own opinion while you enjoy your stroll back into the 60's and the world of racing from an insiders perspective.
