| وصف الكتاب | Every year the Grand National produces very different stories from jockeys and horses alike; uplifting scenes from a victor and heartbreak when a mere inch divides the loser from the winner at the end of nearly four-and-a-half miles and thirty challenging fences. In 1839 the first winner was aptly named Lottery. Back then, huge crowds rode to Aintree by horseback, in carriages, carts or on foot. Today the Grand National is probably the world's most famous horse race, with a global television audience of some 600 million in 140 countries.This richly informed book focuses on the race's various record-breakers, rather than being a purely chronological history of this greatest of all steeplechases. Many records have stood the test of time: in 2019, Tiger Roll's second consecutive victory was the first time that the feat had been achieved since Red Rum in 1973-74. Anne Holland's authoritative history celebrates one of the world's greatest sporting spectacles.'A well-organised and cheerily anecdotal volume' Spectator |
| عن المؤلف | Few racing writers are better equipped to pen this portrait of Best Mate than Anne Holland. Having owned, trained and ridden many winners in the amateur ranks, she understands intimately the heartbreaks, the hopes and the thrills found in this heroic sport.Anne Holland is author of numerous books on horseracing including Steeplechasing, A Celebration of 250 Years; Classic Horse Races; Grand National, The Official Celebration of 150 Years; Stride by Stride, The Illustrated Story of Horseracing; and Dawn Run, The Story of a Champion Racehorse and her Remarkable Owner.She lives blissfully in rural Ireland where she hunts as much as possible, enjoys going racing and breeds NH horses.Anne Holland is an established authority on both flat-racing and steeplechasing, and author of many acclaimed and authorised books on the subject. |
