Really Sad That This Is His Last Book

This is Murray's last book, having passed away earlier this year. If you are a racing fan or otherwise interested in the world of the racetrack and the crazy people who inhabit it, buy this book. It's funny, touching, and all too familiar for those who love the horses. And then buy all of Murray's racing mysteries. This final book is a great read and I hated to see it end. Murray captured what makes a day at the races so special to many of us. One of these days I'll finally get out to Del Mar and hoist a beer and a few losing tickets in Murray's memory. Until then I'm stuck with the great books he wrote. If you love racing, you'll love this book.
