Former FT racing correspondent and spectator Turf columnist Robin Oakley presents his top 100 British racehorses of all time.
Robin Oakley OBE is a European political Editor at CNN International and was BBC political Editor. His most recent book was The Cheltenham Festival: A Centenary History (Aurum, 2011).
The short history of each runner; detailing owners, jockeys and
career highlights will keep the armchair enthusiast or racecourse
regular entertained ... [Oakley's] breadth of knowledge and easy
style make this a dead cert.
*The Field*
His own descriptions of legendary horses and races are richly
evocative.
*Racing Post*
Unlikely to settle any bar room debates over the greatest race
horse. But it might prompt a few.
*Anton Rippon, Sport's Journalists' Association*
For the racing fan you know and love, Top 100 Racehorses of All
Time could be just what they need for reference and maybe that big
winning bet!
*Essex Rider Monthly*
