Around2turns is the online home of me: Bob Barry. It’s a one-horse stable. A cat taking a long, lazy look at the sport of kings.
A New York-bred, I live a few furlongs from the Hudson River and work as an analyst at a newspaper on Manhattan’s west side. I’ve written very occasionally about thoroughbred racing since 1998.
Why around2turns? The focus is on racing. Sometimes I may take the turns a little wide, but the scenic route offers its own rewards. Mainly, it’s because I like two-turn races. Everyone ends up where they started. It’s the running of the race that matters.
