Investing In Thoroughbreds |

One of the most spectacular works on the Thoroughbred that has ever been conceived, Notable North American Thoroughbreds has been resuscitated in a limited edition of fewer than 100 copies to provide a select few horsemen the opportunity to own this magnificent example of the publishers art.
Featuring more than 50 color plates from the National
Museum of Racing and several private collections, this striking
volume is printed on extremely high-quality paper, attractively
bound in leather and cloth, and contained in a handsome
presentation case which matches the cover. (Book measures 16” X 12”.
Case measures 17˝” X 13˝”)
440 pages of text

Investing in Thoroughbreds is a practical guide to help the newcomer make smart business decisions. The rewards of Thoroughbred ownership can be substantial for those who do their homework, get good advice, and set realistic expectations. But the coveted racehorse can turn into a costly mistake for the owner who fails to undertake due diligence. The reader will learn about how the federal tax code applies to horse ownership. New investors are encouraged to get advice from blood stock agents, vets, accountants and lawyers with equine experience. Kirkpatrick also offers advice on how to avoid getting taken for a ride by unscrupulous members of the Thoroughbred fraternity. $29.95 (plus $5.00 for postage & handling). |

A few sample entries:
Jonathan
at the Gratz
JJJ $$$--(Continental/American) Another of the very good new restaurants in town; in fact it’s one of my favorites. Excellent and imaginative food, well presented. The atmosphere in the dining room can be a little stiff at times, but it’s the result of the décor, not the people. With its dark paneling, fireplace, etc., the bar is one of the most attractive places in town to have dinner—in fact, the hunchback of Notre Dame could score in there—and they serve the same food as the dining room. Decent wine list, decently priced. 380 S. Mill Street 252-4949 (Reservations suggested)
Merrick Inn
JJJ $$$--(Regional) This is one of the most attractive restaurants in the area, with a lovely bar (where they serve really good drinks), an exceptionally-nice patio and several attractive dining rooms. Food is excellent regional fare. Good service. The only problem is that it is the hangout for several of the area’s most notorious and unavoidable assholes, which is why I never go there even though I truly love the place. 3380 Tates Creek Road (in Merrick Place) 269-5417 (Reservations highly suggested)
Botkin True Value Hardware When I was young, one of my fondest desires was to marry a deaf mute nymphomaniac whose father either owned a liquor store (1st choice, of course) or a hardware store. This is the hardware store I would have envisioned -- the real thing where you don't have to endure 853 departments such as underwear for oversized ladies and children's clothes to buy a screwdriver. They have actual people there, too, to help you find what you're looking for, and you can actually call in advance to see if they have what you need. 883 E. High Street (Chevy Chase) 266-7041
