William Nack has won the prestigious Eclipse Award-given annually
for the best magazine piece on horseracing-an unprecedented six
times. His only previous book, Secretariat: The Making of a
Champion, has been eloquently described by Laura Hillenbrand,
author of Seabiscuit, as the "gold standard" of horse books.Now,
Nack's finest turf writing, coupled with an ample assortment of
dead-on profiles and investigative stories across the world of
sports, is brought together in My Turf. Nack serves up
unforgettable portraits: from his celebrated account of the death
of Secretariat to his homage to both Yankee Stadium and Saratoga,
including one-of-a-kind profiles of boxers Sonny Liston and Rocky
Marciano, jockeys Willie Shoemaker and Robbie Davis, baseball
players Keith Hernandez and the schizophrenic Martin Bergen,
basketball coach Rick Pitino, and the chess master Bobby Fischer.
