Sad to see Russ go. I remember getting the NYDN years ago and pulling out Russ and tossing the rest out. Back then the focus was on winners, not prices.
Part of the fabric woven in our lives of horse racing. He stood the test of time. Glad he's in the NMRHOF so that people will always have the ability to know about him as time goes on.

"According to Donnelly, Harris was also an academic, getting degrees from four universities, including a master’s in American history from Lehigh in 1999 when he was 76 years old."
This was the most impressive. Just shows you that handicapping keeps the mind sharp.
