One of the most difficult aspects of starting a new job is having to quickly catch up to the rest of your team, especially if you're replacing someone.

The Clays of Louisville are an old Kentucky family. Not rich, maybe, like the folks who play pool in the Pendennis Club and chew mint leaves on the veranda at Churchill Downs.
