Ever been bored with office life? Nicholas Godfrey was. That's why, armed with a rucksack and a sense of adventure, he jettisoned the security of a senior job at the Racing Post to travel the world chasing after racehorses in an amazing eight-month journey. This work is a funny account of going to the races in the four corners of the globe.
Ever been bored with office life? Nicholas Godfrey was. That's why, armed with a rucksack and a sense of adventure, he jettisoned the security of a senior job at the Racing Post to travel the world chasing after racehorses in an amazing eight-month journey. Godfrey went around the world three times in the end, covering around 80,000 miles across four continents in search of horse racing in all its various shapes and sizes - from the world's most prestigious races held in the most advanced racing nations to the sport's backwaters, where it barely exists at all. Join the 'Bill Bryson of the Sport of Kings' in this humorous account of going to the races in the four corners of the globe.
