A great book by the brilliant horseracing journalist David Ashforth. The book is made up of short chapters covering the horses, trainers, jockeys, owners and people that make the 'Sport of Kings' so unique.
Ashforth writes in a way that is informative and well-researched, yet always with an underlying dry humour, ensuring even a non-horseracing fan will love his book: https://merlinunwin.co.uk/.../ashforths-curiosities-of...
