Book "Hollywood at the Races"
I just finished reading the book Hollywood at the Races by Alan Shuback published in 2019. 236 pages. $19.70 at Amazon.
The first 4 chapters are about the histories of the southern California tracks.
The rest of the chapters cover the stars who attended the races and owned horses Like Louis B. Mayer who ran MGM studios.
Chapter 6 was The gamblers -- The downfall of Mickey Rooney, Chico Marx and others.
You may own anther book he wrote, Bet with the Best: Expert Strategies from America's Leading Handicappers.
