内容説明
The Encyclopedia of British Horse Racing offers an innovative approach to one of Britain's oldest sports. While it considers the traditional themes of gambling and breeding, and contains biographies of human personalities and equine stars, it also devotes significant space to neglected areas. Entries include:
social, economic and political forces that have influenced racing
controversial historical and current issues
legal and illegal gambling, and racing finance
the British impact on world horseracing
history and heritage of horseracing
links between horse racing and the arts, media and technology
human and equine biographies
venues associated with racing
horseracing websites
The Encyclopedia of British Horse Racing provides a unique source of information and will be of great interest to sports historians as well as all those whose work or leisure brings them into the world of racing.
