South American racing up close from A T Jergins
A T Jergins tours Buenos Aires and Chile tracks, noting marble clubhouses, lakes and landscaping, three tracks per plant, and a turf oval. He observes small win bets, no tote boards, morning lines as sole indicators, and roars of 12 to 18 race fields. He contrasts South American racing with U.S. excess and praises the sport’s restraint and public appeal.
