L'autore:

John Pinfold was brought up in Liverpool and saw his first Grand National in 1967. He has missed only two runnings of the race since then, having seen all of Red Rum's races as well as the void National of 1993 and the Monday National of 1997. He is the author of Gallant sport: the authentic history of Liverpool Races and the Grand National, which for the first time definitively established 1836 as the date of the first race, and of a history of Hoylake Racecourse, as well as articles on the social history of horse racing. Educated at Liverpool College and St. Catherine's College, Oxford, he is currently on the staff of the Bodleian Library, Oxford.
