Ha! I loved that one, too! Talk about overcoming a bad trip!

How influential do you think that series was in establishing our current interest, Danzig?!

loved those books growing up, and have a few of them--working on getting all of them in hardcover, thank goodness for ebay. might have had some influence--sure didn't hurt!

Seen a few real good ones live. My two favorites, both Marlboro Cups (I miss that race a lot):

1976 Marlboro Cup: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWeWHgHivWk
Forego runs down Honest Pleasure.

1978 Marlboro Cup: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBHczmcKS5M
Seattle Slew (2-1) dominates Affirmed(1-2) in the first-ever race with two Triple Crown winners.
