Summary: Phil Georgeff has written a scintillating, warm remembrance!
Comment: Phil Georgeff, our golden "Voice of Chicago Racing" has written a warm, endearing, scintillating wonderful portrait of Thoroughbred horse racing's "golden days"! Seen through his "Look of Eagles" eyes as he called (not announced) 96,131 races! His binoculars became magnifying glasses so all of us, as we delve into his history can feel as if we're right there beside him on his Thoroughbred Trek. As my orbs devoured his incredible word portraits, couldn't stop until my eyes had raced over all 252 pages! Read at one sitting! Can't put it down because the book moves as smoothly, fluid, fast, graceful and exciting as does a bounding Thoroughbred, who gallops down a homestretch. It's an exciting, silky, fantastic "read" that left me wanting more. Phil's prose is nearly poetry and a vividly beautiful portrait of horse racing. Phil has the heart, class and soul of a classic Thoroughbred. He writes with love, passion and the discerning eye that only a professional, honest and exceptional writer/witness of those days "when racing was racing" could put to paper. He's enabled all of us to vividly experience and savor every moment of those days when Phil called "Here they come spinning out of the turn!". Wish I could hear him call again! Phil's wise, incisive insight has given all of us racegoers an unforgettable, wide-screen Technicolor heartwarming classic about the wonderful world of Thoroughbred horse racing! It's an endearing, exciting, emotion laden heartfelt tribute! Thoroughbreds are ethereal, spirited, strong and vibrant! Equines who run their hearts out every day they pound down the track, run because it's a deep tradition and heritage within. Phil did the same every time he called a race. And his fervor lives now as he writes his books. Thriving, surviving, facing life's challenges we can learn from this man with a Thoroughbred soul, heart and the Look of Eagles who has given a golden voice to all those brilliant, racing equines & people who live & breathe Thoroughbred racing today! Phil's story is unique and true. Yet his words have the flowing detail & prose you might find in a book of fiction. "AND THEY'RE OFF!" is a masterful tribute and salute to Thoroughbred Horse Racing. Phil's book is a Triple Crown Winner, worthy of an Eclipse award!
