The Channel Four Book of Racing

Fülszöveg

'The Channel Four team's lively and aggressive coverage of racing has been one of the features of the decade. The presenter, Brough Scott, fronts a team which includes the two Johns, Oaksey and Francomé, Derek Thompson, Graham Goode and the unbelievably marvellous and horrible John McCririck. The book is packed with so much information that, like the television programme, it will appeal to the expert as much as to the novice'
Michael Seely, The Times
'The wealth of information provided throughout the book is in an easy-to-read format, so it's not only useful, but interesting and fun. The liberal illustrations in the book, black and white and colour, are superb'
Racing Post
'This is a thundering good book'
The Irish Field
'A book which should make all racing fans more knowledgeable and keep them entertained'

The Channel Four Book of Racing is the bestselling companion to the television coverage of horse racing by the acclaimed Channel Four team. Introduced by Brough Scott and featuring contributions from all the other presenters, it unravels the mysteries of the different but interlocking segments which give racing its fascination for millions of enthusiasts - the horse and its breeding, the wonderful variety of British racecourses, the world of owners, trainers and jockeys, the administration and financing of the sport, the interpretation of form, the theory and practice of betting, and the eternal fascination of the race itself and how to read it. Each of the Channel Four presenters nominates a favourite horse and a special race as well as providing a preface to the chapter on his speciality.
For this first paperback edition a fresh chapter has been included on Derby Day 1990 with Channel Four Racing, and the text has been completely revised and updated to keep The Channel Four Book of Racing a definitive guide to the Turf.
