personality, and successful bloodstock agent, while providing any number of tasty
vignettes along the way."

thoroughbred horse racing radio shows on April 5. Reflecting on the piece Stein
stated, "I couldn't skip over it. he [Alvarado] tells a great story.. You guys gotta
see this book. There's so much in here that's enjoyable."

played over the track's loudspeakers in honor of the book's release and in tribute
