The Guinness Book of Flat Racing

Gerry Cranham, pioneer in the world of sports photography and former Sports Photographer of the Year who now concentrates solely on horse racing, has teamed up with Evening Standard and BBC World Service racing correspondent, Chris Poole, to produce a photographic record of flat racing. Written as an introduction to the complex multi-million-pound world of "the sport of Kings", this book is illustrated with specially commissioned action photographs. Covering famous jockeys, trainers, and horses and providing an explanation of how flat racing is organized and run, the book is full of shots of all the top horses and races of recent times.
