Racing with Rising Fast by Leicester Russell Spring. SCARCE. Published by Hodder & Stoughton in 1971. First Edition. Written by his owner, this book is the definitive biographical account of Rising Fast—the legendary Kiwi-bred thoroughbred who remains the only horse in history to win the "Spring Grand Slam" (the Melbourne Cup, Caulfield Cup, and Cox Plate in the same year, 1954). The story of a man and a great horse, of triumph, of disappointment and courage. A great horse who after a disputed disqualification in New Zealand was taken to Australia where he became one of the best that ever was. The story holds no punches & gives an idea of how inflexible officialdom could be in that time. A fascinating look at a champion horses career.
