| Publisher Description: Thundering hooves. Shouts and cheers Quickly spoken words and moments of anticipation. Flashes of the lean creatures as they go by being directed by focused riders in colorful silks. That unmistakable scent of dust and horse. And the lure of money, lots and lots of money.Many people enjoy the sport of horse racing. Then there are the others, those who go too far. Bobby Tucker is one of them. Once he was a casual fan, but then something came over him- 'the fog' is what his father, an ex-gambler himself, called it. 'Your demon' is what someone else tells him he needs to get under control. A friend tells him the truth, "You're an addict, a simple gambling addict and you're sick." Only one old man, long since dead, can help Bobby understand The Other Side of Horse Racing. But can he escape it? |
