Revisiting T.D. Thornton's Not By A Long Shot, a chronicle of Suffolk Downs which closed its final race card last Saturday.
A jem in the canon of turf literature, NBALS captures the world of thoroughbred racing with an insider account of an aging
track caught on the ropes with Runyonesque characters, fabled steeds, and hard bitten betting folk who faithfully supported
Suffolk Downs through thick and thin. If you love thoroughbreds and the sport, Thornton's tale is a must read.
Suffolk Downs' closing is tragic, but its magical tale lives on.
