5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful tapestry of the history of Saratoga,
By A Customer
This review is from: They're Off: Horse Racing at Saratoga (Paperback)
A beautiful history of the oldest sports venue in the United States. Reading it made me long to have experienced the spa in years gone by. If you are into the history of horse racing, this book is a must read.

A Runaway Winner,
This review is from: They're Off!: Horse Racing at Saratoga (Hardcover)
Saratoga Race Course is the definition in sports on how time can stand still. It is a throwback in an era of throwaway.
For about a month in the summer, the focus of the Thoroughbred racing world is directed at a facility older than Wrigley Field, with tradition well-versed in blue-bloods, rogues and immortal runners who may have charged to the winner's circle or suffered legendary defeats in the "Graveyard of Champions." And that may apply to the blue-bloods and rogues as much as the runners! Edward Hotaling pens the definitive book on racing at Saratoga. The oversize paperback also tells the history through ample photographs of the personalities and racers that makes the track a living hall of fame. They're Off is a gate-to-wire champion. |
