This Personalised Horse Racing Book covers all the biggest stories in the sport's history since 1905. The agony, the ecstasy, the controversy, it's all there.
The book is a compilation of newspaper stories relive some of the greatest moments from ‘The Sport of Kings’ as reported at the time in national newspapers. The tapes go up on this book with a Triple Crown win by Pretty Polly in 1904. It features wonder horses such as Golden Miller, Arkle, Red Rum won the Grand National an unprecedented three times in 1973, 1974 and 1977, a record that to this day is yet to be broken, Sherga, and Kauto Star. Alongside the winning horses are leading jockeys like Sir Gordon Richards,Lester Piggott’s professional career spanned four decades, and saw him win nine Epsom Derbies, five 2000 Guineas and eight St Leger Stakes, leading to him being regarded by many as the greatest flat race jockey of all time, Willie Carson and Bob Champion. Dramatic events that saw a suffragette throw herself in front of the king’s horse during the Derby of 1913, and when seven horses crashed out in the same classic flat race in 1962 are also documented. Any articles originally printed in full colour from 2006 onwards will be displayed as such.
Reading through the pages is like taking a stroll through time. And the fact that these books can be personalised with a name and message means they make extra-special horse racing gifts. Your recipient's in for the ride of their life.
