Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Edition. Gift quality 1st edition hardcover in dark green cloth covered boards with mustard colored spine title and neon green pair of galloping TB's on foot of frt board. Spine ends bumped, tips still sharp. No writing, names, soil or tears in the tight, crisp 296pp text. Original, un-clipped bright yellow background dust wrapper is complete with light soil and age-toning at periphery. Book displays well in new mylar. 'Being of sound mind and in reasonable possession of my faculties, I marshaled my forces, at the tender age of fifty-four, and marched upon the city of Boston, Massachusetts, like a latter-day Ben Franklin, to seek my fame and fortune as the operator of a racetrack. Two years later, fortune having taken one look at my weathered features and shaken its hoary locks, I retreated, smiling gamely.' -Bill Veeck- The title of this book has to do with what its author calls 'the end product of the romance of horseracing.' When Bill Veeck, the famous maverick from baseball, took up the challenge of managing Boston's semi-moribund Suffolk Downs racetrack in early 1969, he had yet to learn that the normal daily output of some sixteen hundred horses (including straw) would amount to so much, or be so hard to dispose of.In the tough-minded and tabasco-tongued prose that is his trademark, Bill Veeck lines out the battles he won and lost, the fun he had, what he discovered about horseracing at 'Sufferin' Downs,' and the friends and enemies he so open-handedly made. With wry elan he provides a wealth of track lore.
