Horse Racing : The Golden Age of the Track
By Bert MorganBert Morgan followed the jet set at play along the eastern seaboard from the 1930s-1950s, including the races. At the Track is a consciously classy, nostalgic look at racing life as it centered around celebrated Triple-Crown races of the day, featuring, in rare candid photographs: famous horses and jockeys, scene-setting track details, stylish fans (many famous: Eisenhower, Liz Taylor, Jackie O, George Raft, Bing Crosby, the Whitneys, the Vanderbilts), and a core of exciting, pioneering photography of the races themselves. Introduction by Bill Barich, a great writer (New Yorker, etc.) who is still widely remembered for Laughing in the Hills, a memoir immersed in horse racing and track culture/characters.
