Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Sir Peter O'Sullevan (born 3 March 1918) is an Irish retired horse racing commentator for the BBC and correspondent for the Press Association, Daily Express and Today. He was the BBC's leading horse racing commentator from 1947 to 1997, during which time he memorably described some of the greatest moments in the history of Britain's most popular race, the Grand National.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

For decades PETER O'SULLEVAN was one of the great sports commentators, providing the soundtrack for half a century of horseracing as he called home such legends as Arkle, Nijinsky, Red Rum and Desert Orchid.

But in addition to his status as a TV personality, 'The Voice of Racing' was also a notable journalist and much-admired writer, and it is a measure of his standing both within and beyond his sport that his compulsively readable autobiography Calling the Horses, first published in 1989 and reprinted eight times, reached the top of The Sunday Times bestseller list.

The heartening news for the legions of Peter O'Sullevan fans is that, despite his years, his enthusiasm for racing is undiminished, and so are the elegance, fluency and wit which infuse his writing style.

This new and extensively updated edition of Calling the Horses is a very remarkable book by a very remarkable man.
