"Pack was and still is the standard for all New York bettors, fans and handicappers. Reading some of these hilarious stories brought back some of my best track memories from hanging out in the Belmont and Saratoga backstretch. His radio and TV show were classic."
-Nick Zito, Hall of Fame trainer
"On one of his first days working for NYRA, Pack organized a special day for me at Belmont. I never forgot that experience. Pack was the image of NYRA racing, and the influence he had on the jockeys, bettors, and regular workers was very special. It was a fun ride back then and Pack relives all of those entertaining stories in this book." -Angel Cordero, Hall of Fame jockey

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. First Edition. If there were a picture next to the word horseplayer in the dictionary, odds are it would be the familiar visage of Harvey Pack, the legendary and curmudgeonly face and voice of racing to generations of New York racetrack denizens. In May the Horse be with You: Pack at the Track, Pack reflects on over a half century of racing's most memorable people, places and moments. From his seat in the grandstand as a childhood fan, to his decades of dedicated work behind the microphone and in front of the camera, Pack recalls a lively life at the track amidst millionaires, busted-out bettors, and ever-changing crew of wagering compatriots. Pack, with the help of author Peter Thomas Fornatale, tells Runyon-esque tales from his seven decades as a racing fan, highlighted by the characters he was fortunate (and unfortunate) enough to meet. In the end it wasn't the celebrities or racing superstars that Pack connected with best, but the regular racetrack Joe. Whether one finds himself lumped with the hundreds of fans who risk the rent money or just a casual $2 across-the-board bettor, it's the everlasting comradeship associated with being a horseplayer that Pack and so many others are drawn to day in and day out.
