Lonesome Glory Publications is an independent online publication and investigative media site operated by Christopher Van Hassel.
We serve as a platform for commentary, research, and investigative pieces centered around two main themes:
Thoroughbred Racing & Horsemen Rights: Writing about horse racing, regulation (such as HISA, the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority), and issues affecting racehorse backstretch workers, trainers, and Jockeys.
Civil Rights & Legal Research: Publishing investigative pieces and guides regarding federal and state constitutional law, Section 1983 civil rights claims, public records, and legal procedural topics.
Origin of the Name:
The publication’s name is inspired by Lonesome Glory (1988–2002), the famous American Hall of Fame Thoroughbred racehorse who was a five-time Eclipse Award winner as Champion Steeplechaser.
