REVIEWS
I've explored your book, I think it's fabulous and would like to take copies to Japan as gifts for some of our company's most valued clients there.
Your book is an outstanding workpiece for all levels of enjoyment. It is in the top level of works I have read relating to racing or any other sporting books. 'I consider your work will educate old, young and even the unborn for decades into the future
I could assist you (the author) towards a PhD on the subject as ‘the Blood the Soil the Gold’ provides a substantial basis
A monumental work..If you are at all interested in the development of the horse from ancient times until the present and the history of breeding both overseas and in Australia and New Zealand there is more than enough reading material to keep even the most avid reader happy.
