Fred M. Kray on Animal Law and the Suspicious Death of Alydar

Today, we're plunging into a gripping narrative that's a blend of horse racing lore, courtroom drama, and edge-of-your-seat intrigue. Joining us is the esteemed animal law attorney and the author behind the top-selling book Broken: The Suspicious Death of Alydar and the End of Horse Racing's Golden Age, Fred M. Kray. He is a former trial lawyer who now specializes in animal law and won the American Bar Association’s coveted Excellence in the Advancement of Animal Law Award in 2016. Whether rescuing a stolen Great Dane with a SWAT team or freeing innocent dogs from death row, it has always been his life’s purpose to give animals a voice. He has lectured on the subject, taught at the law school level, and coauthored an article for American Jurisprudence Proof of Facts. Kray was introduced to horse racing working at a racetrack in Nebraska while attending law school. He fell in love with a horse named Alydar in Miami, watching him run in the Flamingo Stakes and the Florida Derby. Reintroduced to Alydar’s story when he moved to Gainesville, he spent four years researching, interviewing, and writing about Alydar, which is detailed in Broken: The Suspicious Death of Alydar and the End of Horse Racing's Golden Age.
