" Racing, the most colourful of sports, holds many in thrall. Racing embraces them all, and this bedside book of racing stories, anecdotes, reminiscences, poems and observations is as varied and rich as the racing scene itself. Some can't resist it because they love horses, others because they own horses, ride or train horses, and of course a huge number enjoy the betting.
The six sections in the book encompass Horses, Owners, Trainers, Jockeys, the Players and the great Racing Festivals. Many of the great names of racing, past and present, are included, as well as others that are less expected: Jeffrey Bernard, Jack Leach, Dick Francis, Graham Greene, Evelyn Waugh, Benjamin Disraeli, David Ashforth, Anthony Trollope, Siegfried Sassoon, Rudyard Kipling, Philip Larkin, Emile Zola, and more. Stories that bring out the worst and the best in human nature sit side by side.
