 Book Review - Horse Sense: An Inside Look at the Sport of Kings
In his chapter, "The Future", Sugar discusses racing's big mistake of turning its back on television until it was too late and its lack of promotions until finally famed baseball promoter Bill Veeck was brought into lowly Suffolk Downs in 1969 to boost attendance.
Sugar writes, "Perhaps Veeck's greatest promotion was his non-acceptance of an almost universal prohibition of children at the track." Veeck saw that to get new players into the game, young people needed to be introduced to the sport early, an idea totally lost to track managers at the time.
Bert Sugar's sense of humor shines through on every page, and will put a smile on any reader's face.

I wanted to love Sugar Ray - he was Ali's hero and in a lot of circles he is considered pound for pound the greatest boxer of all time!
The story is a great story - a very poor family's struggle and their support and love for each other - Sugar Ray's discovery of boxing and his rise to fame and fortune and the phenomenal and heart breaking comeback and the sad decline in the end.
It doesn't capture the Sugar Ray magic and I felt that Sugar Ray wasn't 100% honest - he and the book were truthful, but I felt that there was something missing - that he wasn't completely honest.
