even sadder day for maryland racing.

I've been watching thoroughbred racing events on television since nearly the beginning.

I can truthfully say my favorite events were those with Jim McKay present.

He displayed a complete feeling for the moment, as a journalist and as a fan.


His narration on the "Jewels of the Triple Crown" is one of my all time favorites. Pending this afternoon's race, it remains a complete body of work...
