Horse Fever

[spine slightly turned, no other significant wear; jacket nice and clean, with one tiny nick at top edge of rear panel]. "Here at last is a book about Thoroughbred racehorses and the people around them that tells the truth, with verve and wit, about what really goes on out there -- during, between, and after races. In a backstage glimpse, we are introduced to many of the stars of racing -- Bill Shoemaker, Johnnny Longden, Eddie Arcaro, and the fascinating newcomer Mary Bacon -- as well as its lesser players -- the great floating populatin of sharpies, dreamers, grifters, hustlers, and just plain suckers, who live and die daily by the calculations of the pari-mutuel machines." 110110e
