5.0 out of 5 stars A great tour of famous horseracing facilities., April 29, 2000

By	Mary Anne Tarver (Chicago area, USA) - See all my reviews

This is a beautiful book, filled with the talented Mr. Reeve's paintings of famous race horses posed against the background of famous race tracks. I thoroughly enjoyed his narration of how and why he chose to paint each horse at each track. If you enjoyed Royal Blood, you will enjoy this book also. It is well worth purchasing - for your own collection or as a special gift.
