Also all the sports greats. Wonderful book and a must for any horse racing fan.

it's man o war, a legend like lightning by dorothy ours. it just came out a few months ago.

Linny you are correct about Morvich, according to Avalyn Hunter he was badly conformed and probably his legs were only good for the dozen or so races. He raced four more times, hitting the board 3x then fourth out of four in the Fall Highwt. Hdcp.
