  • 2016:

    There has been a great deal written recently about American Pharoah’s place among the all-time greats.

  • The Real Longshot of '50-1' is I Enjoyed It

    There is no harsher critic of racing films than yours truly, and I sadly have had to carve apart recent flicks with the dexterity of a surgeon with a scalpel. I can’t stand revisionist history for the sake of making it “Hollywood” and can’t stand a movie turning racing into a farce, as “Secretariat” did, insulting one’s intelligence on so many ...
