Description
"In this intermittently engaging book, Thornton narrates a long season at Boston's Suffolk Downs racetrack, a blue-collar gambling bastion struggling for survival in the casino age. Thornton--who has spent his life around racetracks as a gambler, groom, reporter, announcer and PR man--possesses a deep sympathy for and understanding of the dynamics and contradictions that sustain this threatened world"--Publishers Weekly.
