Riassunto:

Written by acknowledged authorities on the racing scene in both the United Kingdom and United States, and fully updated to the end of the 2008&;2009 European winter season, The Complete Encyclopedia of Horse Racing is the definitive illustrated work on &;the horses,&; with every page a visually exciting and information-packed celebration of the sport.

It follows horse racing from its earliest inceptions to the present day, and provides essential data on all the top jockeys, leading owners and trainers, and famous Thoroughbreds. In addition, the off-track world is explored through chapters dealing with gambling, scandals and disasters, media coverage, and the business of racing.
