From "My Guy Barbaro: A Jockey's Journey Through Love, Triumph and Heartbreak with America's Favorite Horse," by Edgar Prado with John Eisenberg. Copyright(c) 2008 by Edgar Prado. Reprinted by arrangement with HarperCollins Publishers. When you get into the racing business, you learn not to get too attached to any horse. That's the first commandment. Be careful, you're told, they'll only break your heart. This is a tough, competitive business, not a romance novel. If you're a jockey, just get on them, get off them, and move on. When Barbaro came along, I broke that commandment, shattered it into a thousand little pieces, like a stone tablet that had been hurled to the ground.

The secret bar is tucked behind a wall in the den of George Bolton's San Francisco home. Press a panel and a hidden door opens, revealing a private speakeasy that, in another time, might have fooled the law. Bolton enters, pours a drink and settles in, to sip and savor the mood. Racing photographs dot the walls and tell the story of a champion thoroughbred who, in another time, might have been Seabiscuit. But this isn't the Great Depression, and this is another race horse. Bolton's hideaway is a shrine to Curlin, the colt Bolton co-owned when he won the 2007 Preakness Stakes en route to Horse of the Year honors.

Show times: 8 p.m. Tuesdays-Fridays; 2 p.m., 8 p.m. Saturdays; and 1 p.m., 6:30 p.m. Sundays.
