Seller: CHARLES BOSSOM, Ely, CAMBS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Numerous Colour & b/w Illustrations / Photographs (illustrator). Dust jacket complete, unclipped. Illustrated boards. Numerous Colour & b/w Illustrations / Photographs. No ownership inscription. 144 pages clean and tight. What makes a horse race great? It may be a performance of outstanding individual superiority - Arkle scooting away from Mill House in the 1964 Cheltenham Gold Cup, Secretariat putting thirty-one lengths between himself and his Belmont Stakes rivals in 1973 or Dancing Brave striding past a top-class international field in the 1986 Prix de L'Arc de Triomphe. It may be a memorably fought battle between great horses - Golden Miller and Thomond II, Quashed and Omaha, Grundy and Bustino, Ferdinand and Alysheba, Affirmed and Alydar. It may be a race when sentimental attachment to the equine or human participants raises the occasion to the status of legend - Steve Donoghue and Brown Jack winning at Royal Ascot for the seventh consecutive season, Gordon Richards's first Derby victory at his twenty-eighth attempt, Bob Champion's triumph over cancer in the Grand National, Bill Shoemaker and John Henry snatching the first Arlington Million, Lester Piggott breaking the record for English Classic victories. Or it may be a race so packed with incident and drama that it is guaranteed a permanent place in the annals of the Turf - the 1913 Derby when a suffragette threw herself under the King's horse and the hot favourite was disqualified in favour of a 100-1 outsider, the baffling collapse of Devon Loch yards away from certain victory in the 1956 Grand National, or the mayhem in the same race in 1967 which allowed Foinavon to win only because he was so far behind the leaders. GREAT RACES vividly describes in words and pictures fifty of the most famous racing occasions of the twentieth century - including races in Great Britain, America, France, Ireland, Australia and Japan. From Ard Patrick and Sceptre's famous tussle up the Sandown Park hill in 1903 to the duel between Easy Goer and Sunday Silence and the exploits of Desert Orchid, it examines the action and the personalities involved in these unforgettable races and shows why they will live for ever in the collective memory of followers of horse racing.
