Horse racing has been known for centuries as the 'sport of kings'. The Wolrld Encyclopedia of Horse Racing is an essential reference guide/picture book to the story of the sport from its earliest inceptions to the present day. The books provides essential information on the top jockeys, trainers, and horses: every personality (human and equine), event, and issue of import in flat racing and steeplechasing is covered in the book. Additionally, the off track side of racing (scandals, gambling, media coverage, and social and cultural aspects) is explored through informative text and photography.
