Calling All Australian Race Horse Lovers And Collectors!

The plates in this 1922 book are simply out of this World if you're in to race horses from years gone by. An absolute collectors piece!

It can be yours now all on one CD!

This book, out of the hundreds we find, must be one of the best I've ever come across but I'm biased, I love anything that has 4 legs and can run like the wind! It's the best Australian horse racing history information I've had the pleasure to read. A superb addition to any collection!

Not only are the plates fantastic but it lists just about every race horse (the good ones) from the late 1700's through to1880, their blood lines, the history associated with each horse and a fantastic explanation of how horse racing in Australia evolved over those years.

Preface

"THE History of the Racehorse in Australia is such a short one that you might, with reason, imagine that the entire narrative could be condensed into a very small space when committed to print. But you would be utterly wrong. On the contrary, an historian, with his heart in the business, could reel off a number of fair-sized volumes, and still his work would not be fulfilled to his entire satisfaction. A little ancient history may be useful to us before we commence to study the subject. As you know, there was no trace of the genus horse on our island continent before the coming of the white man. In America, on the other hand, although there was no horse as we know him, before the advent of the Conqueror Cortez, in 1518, yet the fossilized remains of the Eohippus, the Protohippus and Hipparion are so numerous and well distributed on the great American continents that these wide lands seem to have been the most favoured home of the great race of equidae, in the far-off days before the ice."
