Julian Wilson’s
100 Greatest Racehorses is a tribute to 100 of the truly great racehorses of
the last 200 years back from the days of Eclipse through to Dancing Brave on
the flat and National Hunt greats from Manifesto to Dawn Run – 2 or 3 pages is
dedicated to each of them, each of which includes either a portrait or action
shot in the case of the more recent ones and a list of their major wins
This is a first
edition published by Macdonald Queen Anne Press in London in 1987 - it is a 255
page hardback, black cloth cover with gold lettering on the spine complete with
dustjacket measuring 10.5" (26.5cm) x 7.75" (19.5cm) x 1"
(2.5cm) – ISBN 0356142930
The book itself
is in excellent condition with no written dedications and just very minor age
related discolouration to the outside top edges of the pages – the dustjacket
has a small tear at the top on the front and some minor shelf wear but is otherwise
in good condition and has not been price-clipped
A good quality
publication with lots of beautiful colour reproductions of portraits of the
older horses, this is a nice collectable book and a great read for the turf
enthusiast, it will make a fine addition to any racing library
