Description
Peter O'Sullevan's autobiography is a remarkable account of his life in horseracing. For decades, he was known for his iconic commentary, which seemed to echo the sound of horses' hooves, earning him the nickname 'The Voice of Racing'. In addition to his TV persona, O'Sullevan was also a respected journalist and writer, whose autobiography has been a non-fiction bestseller. This new edition of Calling the Horses brings together many fresh episodes from O'Sullevan's life, including his commentary on significant events like the 'Bomb Scare' Grand National. The book also offers insight into his charitable work, particularly with the Sir Peter O'Sullevan Charitable Trust, which has raised over £3.5 million for animal welfare charities. Despite his years, O'Sullevan's enthusiasm for racing remains undiminished, and his writing style is infused with elegance, fluency, and wit. This updated edition provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a remarkable man who has left an indelible mark on the world of horseracing.
