Thoroughly brilliant piece of writing by Jay Hovdey on Hartack in the DRF:
http://www.drf.com/news/article/90666.html Has a throwback quality and features this Joe Hirsch confection from a SI article; akin to the prize in a Cracker Jack box: "This is no simple boy, this Hartack," Hirsch's article concluded. "He hasn't fully learned to accept all the many obligations of success as yet. But then Arcaro, too, was a renowned wild one in his youth and matured into quite a man, respected wherever there was racing in this country. Hartack is the Arcaro of tomorrow, and tomorrow is almost today."
