This review is from: Festival Gold: Three Decades of Cheltenham Racing (Hardcover)
This book is very detailed on cheltenham racing.The pictures are very good.If you are into steeplechasing and hurdles this is the book to get. It was nice to remember the horses all over again. The detail in reading the races for each year was never boring.
