Description
Courses for Horses takes us behind the scenes at Britain and Ireland's diverse racecourses. From historic tracks like Newmarket and Epsom to more modest but enjoyable venues, Nicholas Clee explores the people who bring these courses to life.
He meets those in the spotlight, including jockeys, owners, and TV commentators, as well as others with key roles in the sport, such as bookmakers and racecourse managers. Through their stories, Clee reveals the bravery, dedication, skill, and expertise that make racing a popular spectator sport.
With a keen eye, gentle humour, and a deep love for the sport, Courses for Horses offers a unique insight into the world of horse racing, from the excitement of the day at the races to the business and people behind it.
