The Horse Racing Miscellany by John White
Celebrate the world of the racing thoroughbred--whose bloodlines can all be traced to four Arab stallions from the 1700s. Packed with factoids sure to amaze and amuse, it encompasses the great races, tracks, trainers, jockeys, and owners. Stories of heroic riders, frantic finishes, and famous horses, plus statistics, quotes, and lists, will engage anyone who loves a day at the races.
John White, dubbed the Master of the Sporting Factoid, has created a niche market with his sports Miscellany series, which now contains well in excess of a dozen titles. From his home in Belfast, Northern Ireland, he has created a database of facts, stats and stories on a wide range of sports from soccer to Formula 1 and cricket to cycling. Boxing legend Barry McGuigan, The Clones Cyclone, is a former world featherweight champion who also won a gold medal at the 1978 Commonwealth Games, at bantamweight. He won 32 of his 35 professional fights, 28 inside the distance. Since retiring, he has become a regular on television and radio as a boxing analyst.
