Thrills and Spills by Healy Racing
An amazing collection of Irish jump-racing photographs that captures the last decade of the Irish horse-racing scene. For every leap of victory and fist pump, there is a crunching fall or a win that almost was: Pat 'Cash' Healys has captured it all with his camera, with captions by Donn McClean.Thrills and Spills to bring a smile to your face … a beautiful collection of jump racing memories

* The Kerryman *Magic moments with precision and emotion...it is impossible to imagine a meeting in Ireland without the presence of the Healy Racing photography team, and their book is a collection of some of the most memorable moments of the last decade. With captions provided by leading racing writer and broadcaster Donn McClean, this nicely arranged hardback takes the reader on a trip down memory lane during a period of bumper success for Irish jump racing and it does a fine job of capturing the emotions in play. As the title suggests, there is no shortage of dramatic and chaotic action shots, with horses hitting the deck and riders propelled into unorthodox positions as they part company with their mounts. High-profile Cheltenham Festival and Grand National wins feature, but the collection not only celebrates the standout top-level successes from 2011 to 2020 it also shines a light on some of Ireland’s scenic summer tracks and point-to-point venues. Many of the most eyecatching pictures capture scenes of wild celebrations, and such scenes of unbridled joy acts as a stark reminder of how badly missed racegoers have been this year. However, at a time when a return to normal circumstances seems difficult to envisage, Thrills and Spills is a welcome tonic to whet the appetite for whenever we can all finally return to racecourses
