The article also has a link to a great appreciation of the piece, Heinz (and also about the injustice of Heinz never getting the Red Smith award):

My favorite part was the conclusion:

Quote:
Maybe the APSE will get around to doing the right thing posthumously and name W.C. Heinz the winner of the Red Smith Award. I'd bet Red Smith would never have accepted his award if he knew his friend would forever be denied. And I'd bet that Red Smith and the rest on the honor roll would trade in all their awards to have written a story as good as "Death of a Racehorse."
