Review: Racetrack perfection

It isn't easy writing about the backstretch of a racetrack and get it right; Sasscer Hill does it perfectly.  I love the Nikki Latrelle series and especially enjoyed reading the short story that started it all.  People compare her to Dick Francis -- I like Sasscer HIll better, maybe because her jockey is a woman, maybe because they are set in the United States, but if you like Francis, you will love Sasscer Hill.  Even if you don't like racing, this series is terrific.  Nikki is a real scrapper, coming from a tough childhood into a tough world.  She has you cheering for her to win and to beat the scoundrels.  of course, she loves the horses, which makes her right in my eyes.
