Fullerton is a collection of short stories centered around the world of horse racing, written in the early 20th century. This work captures the essence of life on the American turf, highlighting the characters, triumphs, and tribulations that accompany this popular sport. The stories blend human interest with the unique culture surrounding horse racing.  In "Tales of the Turf," Fullerton presents a vivid portrayal of the racing scene through memorable characters such as Hardshell Gaines, an honest yet impoverished horse owner with dreams of breeding champions, and Jaundice O’Keefe, a once-prominent jockey whose life spirals into the depths of vice and despair. The narratives delve into the challenges faced by these individuals and others involved in the racing community, such as gamblers and trainers, as they navigate a world filled with ambition, betrayal, and the quest for redemption. Through these tales, Fullerton intertwines the thrill of competition with poignant observations on human nature and the love of horses, ultimately depicting the complex and often harsh realities of life on the racetrack.
