Packed with original interviews.

Description: Details

In 2011 the Cheltenham Festival celebrated a hundred years, and to mark the occasion Robin Oakley has written an enthralling history of this remarkable event, packed with original interviews, from its creaky beginnings through to the present day phenomenon of packed stands, lavish hospitality enclosures and tented village, and Guinness flowing like water.

The atmosphere is more like a cup final than a race meeting. Not even the Grand National or the Derby can attract such crowds. Over four days in the middle of March, an average of 50,000 spectators a day congregate at the beautiful racecourse laid out beneath Cleeve Hill, for the biggest occasion in the racing calendar, when the best and the bravest jumps horses do battle over Cheltenham's testing fences.

By turns exciting, hilarious and never less than engrossing, Robin Oakley's book is an essential read for both the committed Festival-goer and the armchair racing fan.
