Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an examination of the winning horses in the Derby and their associated races since 1867. The author has collected and analyzed details of all the winners, their bloodlines, trainers, riders, and owners, setting this data in the context of the race's history and cultural significance over that period. This examination uncovers the themes and trends in breeding and training that have led to the triumphs at Epsom Downs. The book brings together for the first time a wealth of statistics, pedigree analysis, and narrative to explore the bloodlines that have been most successful, the correlations between breeders, trainers, and jockeys, and how the sport of horse racing has changed in Britain since its humble beginnings.
