Description:

This study of a unique social world probes beneath the thrill and spectacle of horseracing into the lives of the "honest boys," the "gyps," the "manipulators," the "stoops," and the "Chalk eaters"-the constituents of racetrack society and the players of the racing game. With scientific precision and journalistic vigor, Scott describes the everyday activities-the objectives and strategies-of those whose lives are organized around track proceedings and who compete with chance and with one another.
