Book Description

A visual history of horse racing - the sport of kings - in Britain. Contains around 300 photographs from PA Photos' huge archives, spanning the whole of the 20th Century. Fans of horse racing will find this book to be an essential and compelling addition to their shelves - a chance to see the people and horses and to witness the great moments, of the last hundred years of their sport in Britain. The general reader will be equally fascinated by the unique insight into our recent history that these pictures provide: to modern eyes, the crowds and backgrounds are as interesting as the subjects themselves.
