£9.99
In this fine
book, celebrated Irish racing journalist Michael Clower tells the story of one
of the all time greats of National Hunt racing, Istabraq, shortly after his
historic third victory in the 2000 Champion Hurdle – fate sadly denied him a
leading chance to stand alone with four wins by the foot & mouth outbreak
of 2001, he is one of only five horses to win three Champion Hurdles at Cheltenham
This is a first
edition published by Cassell & Co in London in 2000 - it is a 168 page
hardback, green cloth cover with gold lettering on the spine complete with
dustjacket measuring 10" (25.5cm) x 7" (17.5cm) x 7/8" (2cm)
ISBN 030435628X
The book is in excellent
condition with no written dedications or age related discolouration – as you
can see from the photos, the dustjacket is also in great condition and has not been
price-clipped
A good quality
publication, this is a great read for the National Hunt enthusiast and will
make a fine addition to any racing library
