192p, 30 ills. and 84 color plates by Reeves. Jacket is slightly shelfworn. Dark areas in photo are due to shine from glossy jacket. Chapters on 24 racetracks worldwide, paired with paintings by Reeves of horses especially associated with them. The texts are by Reeves plus several others (Jim Bolus, Edward Bowen, Steve Haskin, Tony Morris, William Murray, etc.). The color portraits include Affirmed, Cigar, Easy Goer, Forego, Kelso, Personal Ensign, Ribot, Ruffian, Swaps, War Admiral, and many more. The tracks include Belmont, Santa Anita, Saratoga, Woodbine, Ascot, Chantilly, Tokyo, and more. Not as large as the Classic Lines series, but in a generous almost-square format. Good as a gift for your Saratoga hostess or favorite equine artist! Shipping/handling will be extra; please keep this in mind when ordering. (Published at $75.00).

Store description
Specializing in good horse and art books since 1973. My open shop of 37 years is now closed, but I welcome online or phone orders. My equestrian books are strong in 19th-century titles, ephemera, and the obscure, overlooked, and uncommon in all fields. Among the other books are many antiquarian bookseller and book auction catalogues. For regular announcements of new arrivals, please sign up at www.bledsoebooks.com. I look forward to serving you.
