Turf fans line the rail at Hollywood Park awaiting the start of the first race on May 11, 1968. There's a quiet but tense scene at the track any afternoon. The $2 bettors have placed their bets, and in the next minute or two they'll know whether they'll be on the short or long end of the wagers. Who are these railbirds? They are from all walks of life, but they're all great fans of racing.
