Finished Lines: A Collection of Memorable Writing on Thoroughbred Racing

Rating:
Summary: Did you like "Seabiscuit"? Know anybody who did?
Review: This book is a fabulous collection of writings about the world of horse racing--horses, jockeys, trainers, the works--by some of the best writers the sport and the world has ever seen. Count down to Derby Day 1955 with William Faulkner, revel in Damon Runyon's snappy verse about a jockey named Sande, and follow the great Andrew Beyer's misadventures at a bush track in Massachusetts.
An excellent gift for racing fans or for fans of superior writing!
