| Synopsis: |
Best-selling authors Dick Francis and John Welcome bring us a richly entertaining collection of classic horse racing stories by authors past and present. Here are selections from Damon Runyon, whose "Pick the Winner" introduces us to the unforgettable, ironically named Hot Horse Herbie and "his everloving fiancee, Miss Cutie Singleton"; Molly Keane, with a brilliant evocation of racing among the Anglo-Irish gentry in the story "Pullinstown"; Banjo Patterson, the Australian Bush Balladeer, whose "The Oracle" presents a classic specimen of the species found at the tracks the world over, the tout; and much more. |
