Er präsentiert einen zunächst fast lebensuntüchtigen, immer wieder in Fettnäpfchen tappenden, etwas tollpatschigen, sympathischen Kämpfer, der dem Ziel zustrebt, sich selbst zu finden.

Kathryn Scanlan’s Kick the Latch vividly captures the arc of one woman’s life at the racetrack—the flat land and ramshackle backstretch; the bad feelings and friction; the winner’s circle and the racetrack bar; the fancy suits and fancy boots; and the “particular language” of “grooms, jockeys, trainers, racing secretaries, stewards, pony people, hotwalkers, everybody”—with economy and integrity. Whittled down with a singular artistry, Kick the Latch bangs out of the starting gate and carries the listener on a careening joyride around the inside track.
