Author Notes: Howard Wright had been involved in writing about many facets of thoroughbred racing for almost twenty years. He spent eleven years as a daily racing correspondent with the Sheffield Morning Telegraph in Yorkshire, and has been a member of the racing staff in London since 1980. He has written for all the leading thoroughbred publications in Britain, beginning a weekly comment column in The Racehorse in 1971, he is a regular contributor to Pacemaker International and the European Racehorse. Heather Parsons had dedicated her life to the promotion of equine welfare and is well known for her willingness and ability to give clear, jargon-free advice to novice owners. Heather has managed a small riding school and also lectured on stable management practices. She has written numerous horse care articles for the Darlington & Stockton Times and was asked by the Classical Riding Club's founder, Sylvia Loch, to act as a regional liaison member for the club. As a supporter of the International League for the Protection of Horses, Heather has organised numerous conferences, lectures and demonstrations.
Further Title Description: When “Bloodstock Breeding" was first published in 1957, it was hailed as a standard reference by an authority on the subject. This completely revised and up-dated edition is an acknowledgement that it should remain so, since it takes account of all the significant changes brought about in the last twenty-five years. The book is presented in two parts: the theory as it affects all bloodstock breeders, and the practice as it has been borne out in the Derby. Sir Charles Leicester's intention was to provide information and ideas which would be of importance and practical usefulness not only to thoroughbred breeders, owners and trainers, and students of heredity but to anyone with a serious interest in the racehorse. This revised edition adheres to his intention.
