![]() If unfamiliar, Julian Muscat is the top British racing writer of his generation. His piece about Art Sherman at TR this week is not to be missed:
Chrome at the World Cup: Art Sherman is relishing the challenge - and charming Dubai https://www.thoroughbredracing.com/a...charming-dubai Reading about Sherman from afar is immeasurably different from encountering him in the flesh. At times he has been portrayed as an almost hapless character who happened to stumble upon a good horse. The reality is exactly as he portrays it: "I have had success all my life, just not in a big way," he said. "I have never had the clients to spend big money." Sherman has considerable presence for a man small enough in stature to have spent 23 years in the saddle. Nor does reproducing his words in print do any justice to their eloquence.
