Street:

A good point, but maybe a mere technicality, because the "racing press, the
NTRA and track honchos" owe their existence to the folks in the tuxes and gowns.

If I get the opportunity, I will try to review the Eclipse Awards given for
Journalism in the past. Would be shocked to see a single winner which cast
Racing in anything but a positive light.

I would love to be wrong about this.

"Confessions of a Master Race Fixer", Sports Illustrated's cover story in the
first week of November 1978, was, as I have mentioned on this board, one of the
most powerful pieces of journalism I have ever read, relating to racing or
anything else. Well written, well documented, absolutely terrifying. Will have
to try to verify if it was even considered for a journalism Eclipse if one was
given in 1978.
