The History of Horse Racing in 100 Objects is an ambitious and
extensive work that embraces the vast sweep of a global sport,
condensing its heart and soul into a century of milestones that
connect its ancient past and its vibrant present. It takes the
reader on a wild ride from racing's earliest organised blossoming
in the 16th century to its most modern technological advances, via
the innovations that have contributed to the shape of the sport and
the great horses, characters and events that have delighted and
intrigued countless generations. Here are the 100 objects that make
horse racing what it is, that describe its journey through the
ages, that express its eternal fascination for all those who fall
under its intoxicating spell. By turns inspirational, informative,
revelatory and thought-provoking, this evocation of the sounds,
colours and history of horse racing will appeal to both devotees of
the great sport and those discovering it for the first time. It's a
sure-fire winner.
