The Channel Four Racing: Guide to Racehorses (Channel Four racing guides) Book

Forming part of a series of Channel Four guides to the sport of horse racing, this volume on racehorses should serve to inform both enthusiasts and those uninitiated in the world of thoroughbreds. Featuring contributions from legendary National Hunt jockey Johnny Francome, as well as the other members of the Channel Four Racing team, the guide centres on all aspects of racehorses, from breeding and training, to choosing names and spotting potential winners of the future. Both flat and jump racing receive an equal share of attention and a section devoted to great racehorses past and present chronicles the racing careers of 20 illustrious equine names. From Shergar to Red Rum and Dawn Run to Desert Orchid, they're all here. The story of the unbeaten Eclipse, retired to stud in 1771, is perhaps the most fascinating. Given 20 generations in between, he bred Swain, the hottest property of the 1998 flat racing season. Interspersed among all the information are hints and tips from the C4 team, explaining the game in layman's terms. As a result, this guide is a perfect introduction for anyone seeking to learn about the sport of kings. --Trevor CroweRead More
