Synopsis :

Here at last is a comprehensive and indispensable guide to the Grand National, a monumental work of reference designed to settle all questions relating to the world's most famous steeplechase, while at the same time capturing the race's extraordinary wealth of drama and romance, of heroic triumphs and heart-breaking failures. With more than 600 entries, "A-Z of the Grand National" records every aspect of the race, from its beginnings in 1839 until the present time. It provides portraits of all its leading protagonists - horses, riders, trainers, owners and officials. At the same time, by way of statistical analysis and noted changes in the course and handicapping, it contains valuable information to guide the would-be punter.
