Synopsis

Discover the practical guide to flat racing that covers every angle—from breeding to the track and beyond. This edition explains how horses are trained, how races are run, and how owners, breeders, trainers, and jockeys can approach the sport with clearer, sharper insight.

Written to meet the needs of both professionals and the curious public, the book blends core racing knowledge with practical advice, focusing on breeding, horses, jockeys, handicaps, courses, time, and the naming of horses. It aims to illuminate the science and the craft behind successful racing, while remaining accessible to readers seeking a solid, grounded understanding of the sport.
