Racing is a sport of infinite variety, stirring abiding memories in its devotees. In That's Racing, published in aid of the International League for the Protection of Horses, forty of the top writers and participants in the sport - including Dick Francis, Clement Freud, Hugh McIlvanney, John Oaksey, Lester Piggott, Brough Scott and Ian Wooldridge, to name just a few - reveal unforgettable moments in their involvement with racing, and the result is a collection of original writing unique in Turf literature. The chapters in this book recall great horses, among them Secretariat, Shergar and Desert Orchid, and famous occasions such as Aldaniti's Grand National, the 1990 Breeder's Cup and the return of Lester Piggott. But they also evoke memories of the less well-known stages on which the great drama of horseracing is played out - including meetings in Cyprus, the Faroes, Norway, Madagascar and the Australian bush! The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers GOR009300840
