Alex Brown, author of Greatness and Goodness: Barbaro and his Legacy, has had a career in horse racing spanning twenty five years. Alex started his career in his native U.K., moving to the United States in 1987. Since that time Alex has worked as an exercise rider and assistant trainer, for leading trainers including Steve Asmussen, Michael Dickinson and Barclay Tagg. Along the way Alex completed his MBA from the University of Delaware in the early 1990s. He then went to work at the University of Delaware, and the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, while maintaining his ties to the horse racing industry.
