Description
Book SynopsisPart 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 ReviewBeautifully 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.
