A Year in the Frame
A Year in the Frame is the fourth collection of award-winning photographer Edward Whitaker's best photographs. The photographs encapsulate the Racing year and show the full scope of Edward's work, from sporting action at the main racecourses around the globe--Cheltenham, Royal Ascot, Newmarket, Goodwood, Aintree, Belmont, Santa Anita, Churchill Downs, and Longchamps--to candid and intimate portraits of some of the leading lights of the sport, as well as racegoers in all their finery.
Doped
'Doped' is the gripping true-story racing thriller set in Britain in the 1950s and early 1960s. Combining a potent mix of horse racing, drugs, sex, class, crime, gambling and the monarchy, it tells the true story of one of the biggest doping scandals in British racing history. In March 1962 an audacious attempt to nobble one of the royal horses alerted police to a well organised band of racecourse criminals, backed by murderous London gangsters. The subsequent Flying Squad pursuit of the gang brought the quaintly deferential world of racing into sharp conflict with the harsher realities of the 'You've never had it so good' era. This also coincided with the birth of the annual Dick Francis novel. The cast of characters is headed by William Roper, a debonair ex RAF Sergeant turned oddsmaker. His team included an ex jockey, numerous underpaid stable lads, an upper class gambling addict and a violent professional gangster who went on to face charges with the Kray twins in 1969. But the most fascinating member of Roper's firm was a beautiful and selfpossessed young Swiss woman called Micheline Lugeon who became the bookmaker's lover.
Frankel
The Champions Day meeting at Ascot in October 2012 saw Frankel win his 14th race and, in doing so, he maintained an astonishing 100% win ratio. This book charts the equine superstar's career, reliving all of his greatest triumphs.
