One of the sport's all-time good guys, Bill Christine, is out with a new book 'Bill Hartack – The Bittersweet Life of a Hall of Fame Jockey.' And he'll be signing (and no doubt selling) copies at Santa Anita on Saturday starting at 10:30 a.m. outside Champions! Gifts & Apparel. It's also available at Barnes & Noble. I haven't read the book, but if Bill wrote it, it's got to be good.
