The book is way up there on our list of good books. It was one of the community wide book club's One Read project. A descendant of the Pocock family lives in our neighborhood. When the boat delivery rig is on its cross country run it parks nearby overnight. It is quite a sight!

This story, and Mr Rantz' life, is Seabiscuit and Red Pollard with a boathouse, not a paddock.

The film was worth seeing, and I recommend Netflix's "Race" about Jesse Owens '36 Olympic performances as a follow-up.
