[Revidere]

The Track: A Day in the Life of Belmont Park by Bill Surface is a great read. The chapter on Sigmund Sommer in his box is priceless as is Johnny Nerud leaving the track after two of Dr. Fager's sons run up the track.

I enjoyed The Kid (Cauthen) by Pete Axthelm.

Also loved the Secretariat(Nack) Ruffian(Schwartz) and Wild Ride. All are terrific.

On another note, Three Strides Before the Wire which chronicles Charismatic's run and Chris Antley's downward spiral was very disappointing because facts and details were just plain wrong.
