The World Atlas of Horse Racing

The World Atlas of Horse Racing by Julian Bedford

It is a fascinating journey round the great international courses – both new and old – which have hosted classic races and legendary thoroughbreds.

Their names alone evoke the rich history of the sport. In the United States, Arlington Park, Belmont, Hialeah and Laurel are just a few of the tracks covered. In Europe, the cradle of organised racing, highlights include Newmarket, Ascot, Epsom, Cheltenham, Longchamp, and the Curragh.

In all, this Atlas visits 95 courses, from Gavéa in Brazil to Te Rapa, New Zealand, describing the development, the tradition and the characteristics of each.
