Festival gold - Stewart Peters

The definitive history of the Cheltenham Festival since 1963, this book features the Gold Cup, the Queen Mother Champion Chase, the Champion Hurdle, and other important races from each year. Superbly illustrated throughout with pictures from Bernard Parkin, the official Cheltenham course photographer who has been involved with racing since 1957, this is a beautiful and evocative book. All the results from each festival are included, as well as comprehensive backgrounds on the chief participants, the conditions, and the characters associated with the event, from the legendary Arkle and Best Mate to Tom Dreaper and the late Queen Mother.
