HERE is the long-awaited second compilation of personality profiles
from South African horseracing history by Charl Pretorius, a read
that brims with fascinating articles and insights from his column,
Legends Of The Turf, which ran for seven years in Johannesburg's
morning daily, The Citizen. There's something in here for everyone
- the story of Syd Laird and Sea Cottage; former Champion Jockey
Andrew Fortune's battle with drugs and his incredible journey back
to the top; the forgotten champ Raymond Rhodes and his association
with the wonder horse Hawaii; training greats Peter Kannemeyer and
Stan Greeff, and many others. Legends Of The Turf Volume 2 includes
a number of vintage photographs that will bring tears to many eyes;
four bonus profiles, including an interview with veteran jockey
Felix Coetzee by Equus Award winner Robyn Louw, as well as Charl's
absorbing account of an afternoon at the Lost City spent in the
company of visiting Frankie Dettori, the flamboyant global
superstar. Charl has dedicated much of his work in racing to
preserving the memory of individuals (and horses) that served the
sport with distinction. As always, his passion for his subjects
captivates, enlightens and entertains.
