Horseracing is a sport that involves one animal sitting on top of another and trying to be the first pair to reach a wooden stick. It is full of curiosities, which are stories of people and horses. The curiosities are arranged in themes so that the reader can dip in and out as the mood takes them. The collection should leave the reader with a benevolent view of an intriguing sport, if they didn't already have one. Owners, jockeys, horses, racecourses, officials, prizes, trainers and staff, racing journalists, betting, bookmakers, punters, skulduggery – one of Britain's best-loved racing journalists, David Ashforth, has found the stories to capture the reader's attention on all these topics and more.
