Racing has a serious integrity problem, Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale believes, and that is why he has pulled the plug and is leaving the game entirely. The Blood-Horse was the first to report the story. "We couldn't compete with all the drugs and all the injections when we were running on just hay, oats and water," he said. "It was an uphill battle.

Then he went into the bathroom, tripped, hit his head on a lavatory. He'll show you a scar over his eye. In fairness, he lasted the 30 days inside, and afterwards actually...

So it turns out that there are last days, too. It was axiomatic with Anthony Manganaro that every day in business should be treated like your first. "If it's the second day, you're falling behind," he would say. Because it was on your first day that you always asked: "What can we do different, what can we do better?" But this questing, vital force was extinguished in August 2023, at 79, and it has meanwhile been the melancholy duty of those he left behind to package up his Turf legacy....
