Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In an extraordinary fairytale triumph, the 2004 Grand National was won by the veteran trainer Ginger McCain with his horse Amberleigh House - long after he had ever expected to win a major race again. But the charismatic McCain is best known for training one of the greatest racehorses ever: Red Rum. Now Aurum follows its successful reissue of Ivor Herbert's classic biography of Arkle with his equally classic book on the career of Red Rum. But the story of Red Rum was not, unlike Arkle's, that of a racehorse born to achievement and pre-eminence. His is a remarkable story of courage, suffering and triumph very much through adversity. As Herbert shows, Red Rum began as an unsuccessful flat-racer, endured a succession of unsuitable trainers and what amounted to prolonged maltreatment, chronic problems with his feet, and was perhaps the last horse thought capable of winning a great race. But then Ginger McCain took him on, sent him off training by galloping in the sand on Southport Beach, and this plucky little horse went on to win first one, then two, then a historic three Grand Nationals. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. It is 36 years since one of the world's greatest racehorses won racing's premier steeplechase, the Cheltenham Gold Cup, for an unprecedented third time. But even at the start of the 21st century, this one horse has - uniquely in the racing world - retained truly mythical status. If people know the name of just one racehorse, it is likely to be that of the courageous Irish horse named after a Scottish mountain: Arkle. In 1966 Ivor Herbert, then distinguished racing correspondent for the London "Evening News", wrote "Arkle: The Story of a Champion", the inside story of this horse's amazing career: three Gold Cup victories, fabulous wins in racing's other top chases, the Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury, the Whitbread Gold Cup at Sandown park and Kempton Park's King George VI Chase, and epic battles with his major rival, the courageous Mill House. His other claim top fame - and perhaps part of the secret of his success - was the obligatory Guinness his stable lad would provide him with after every race (and an extra one for a win). Ivor Herbert's book went through many reprintings, was subsequently revised and reissued following Arkle's death, and is now re-published in a modern paperback edition for a whole new readership to discover the story behind the enduring myth. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Vincent O'Brien is a horse-racing legend. Recently voted horse racing's 'greatest of all time', ahead of familiar names like Lester Piggott, the Queen Mother and Sheikh Mohammed, O'Brien won every race that matters in Britain and Ireland over his fifty-year career and is without doubt the best and most versatile racehorse trainer the sport has ever known. O'Brien is the only man to have trained three consecutive Grand National winners. He won three consecutive Gold Cups and three consecutive Champion Hurdles. He has had extraordinary success in flat racing too - six Derby winners, three winners of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, three King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes winners and twenty-five races at Royal Ascot. He trained some of the best-known racehorses in the history of the sport - including Nijinsky, winner of the Triple Crown in 1970. His life has been a fascinating one. From humble beginnings in County Cork, he chose to train racehorses as his career - much to the benefit of the sport - and went on to create the legendary Ballydoyle Stables. Here his extraordinary story is told by his wife, Jacqueline, and distinguished racing writer Ivor Herbert. Lavishly illustrated with her personal and public photographs that span his amazing life, this book is a must for anyone with an interest in horses or racing. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
