A-Z of the Grand National by John Cottrell

A-Z of the Grand National by John Cottrell

Here at last is a comprehensive and indispensable guide to the Grand National, a monumental work of reference designed to settle all questions relating to the world's most famous steeplechase, while at the same time capturing the race's extraordinary wealth of drama and romance, of heroic triumphs and heart-breaking failures. With more than 600 entries, "A-Z of the Grand National" records every aspect of the race, from its beginnings in 1839 until the present time. It provides portraits of all its leading protagonists - horses, riders, trainers, owners and officials. At the same time, by way of statistical analysis and noted changes in the course and handicapping, it contains valuable information to guide the would-be punter.

John Cottrell is a sports reporter with 50 years experience in newspapers. He has written numerous books including biographies of Muhammad Ali, Richard Burton and Laurence Olivier. Marcus Armytage, who won the Grand National in 1990 on Mr Frisk, is a racing correspondent for the Daily Telegraph as well as author of Hot Cherry: The Best of Marcus Armytage (published by Highdown).
