Book Synopsis
Part memoir, part historical analysis, and part nostalgic remembrance, this book is the quintessential guide to the history of thoroughbred racing in the twentieth century.

Trade Review
Beautifully written . . . wonderfully nostalgic, and insightfully prophetic. -- Tom Carey, President, Hawthorne Race Course
Regardless of whether you agree with Georgeff on every point, you cannot deny that his stroll down memory lane makes for a good read. As on who lived through it all, he (Georgeff) poignantly captures an era now passed, "when all sports had soul and Thoroughbred racing was its beating heart." -- Mary Simon * Thoroughbred Times *
The Kelsos, the Citations, the Swapses, and the Nashuas, whose trainers weren't affraid to run them week after week and didn't duck competition: These are the stories Georgeff tells, and the stories worth remembering.
