Eddie Price is a retired history teacher. He was already on the speaker bureau when he a librarian mistakenly asked him to do a reenactment as Abraham Lincoln – a reenactment he did not do – and that sparked his search for Goose since Kentucky Humanities did not have a jockey reenactment yet.

Eddie Price played the part of Roscoe Tarleton Goose in his “reminiscing room.” Price was wearing the red “derby silks” with a green tobacco leaf spanning the length of his back representing the tobacco wealth earned by Thomas Patrick Hayes, who owned Donerail: the winning horse.

The event was attended by a handful of Barren Countians, who each filled out a form gauging the reenactment’s efficacy and entertainment. Michael Crimmins/Glasgow News 1.
After the roughly 50 minute reenactment Price took a few minutes to sell his numerous books he had written, including three novels, a book on Goose and a myriad of children’s books. Michael Crimmins/Glasgow News 1.
