Hayley Mullins, Northern Kentucky resident and illustrator of Blue Blue Sea Finds His Cape, attended a book signing at Turfway Park in Florence, Kentucky, on April 3, 2016, from 3:00-6:00 pm. Mullins offered to sign books and had copies signed by her and the author of the book, Miranda N. Prather, for sale. The signing took place during Turfway's closing day that featured live racing, Dachshund and small dog racing and a raffle for a bottle of Maker's Mark Bourbon autographed by Cincinnati Reds' legend, Johnny Bench.
Mary Troilo, National Simulcast Director at Turfway Park, set up the event and stated that, "there was a crowd of people at the table so I feel there was a lot of interest" when she had some time to walk by the signing. In addition, Theosa Hoffeld, a fan of Blue Blue Sea, drove up for the event and had hoped to meet Prather in addition to Mullins. She said it was wonderful to meet Mullins and that "Blue Blue Sea's legacy will live forever in this book." Blue Blue Sea Finds His Cape tells the life story of a blue-collar racehorse who overcame a devastating illness to survive and inspire thousands around the globe who were facing their own struggles. The book features playful writing and delightful pictures that bring the tale of Blue Blue Sea to life. Blue Blue Sea was no American Pharoah, but he became a hero just the same!Videos
