  • Racing Strikes Back - By Evan Hammonds

    For the past 20 years Thoroughbred racing has been losing “market share” as a relative sport in the major press.

  • Clinging to Youth Through Secretariat

    No one likes getting old, especially when you still think of yourself as a kid--in my case growing up in Brooklyn and having my world revolve around sports. That spark of youth still burns brightly no matter how old you get. And you even miss the naivety that comes with being young. We looked at everything, especially sports, with a good deal ...
