She is the most perceptive writer, the only one who can make a meaningful connection between her research and the dramatic situation.

...hired such famed trainers as Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons, Bill Winfrey and Eddie Neloy, and bred and raced a long list of champions. The greatest of her stallions was Bold Ruler, which grossed $764,204, winning 23 out of 33 races, then became the sport's leading stud from 1963 to 1969, with progeny that won purses of more than $12 million...
