Book excerpt: Fully updated with a new chapter on A.P.'s knighthood, the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Lifetime Achievement award and his new role as a TV pundit When Tony 'A.P.' McCoy announced his retirement from racing, the shockwaves reverberated across the world of sport. With more than 4,300 winners to his name, McCoy seemed to be at the peak of his powers when he suddenly brought down the curtain on an extraordinary career. But then A.P. McCoy has always done things his way. In Winner: My Racing Life, AP reflects upon his unparalleled career, taking the reader from his humble beginnings in County Antrim to the emotional day at Sandown when horse racing bade a tearful farewell to arguably its greatest ever star. McCoy relates in forensic detail the process that led to his decision to retire, recalls some of his greatest rides, lifts the lid on his family life and looks ahead to a future no longer driven by the constant pursuit of victory. The result is a remarkable insight into the private and public life of a true winner.
Book Synopsis Best Racehorses of 2020 Volume 1 by : Sieglinde McGee
Download or read book Best Racehorses of 2020 Volume 1 written by Sieglinde McGee and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-07 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year 2020 was one for the history books and not just because of the races that ran and the horses that won them. It was a pandemic year, and as we get ready for the 2021 season it is still not known if or when any sense of the old normality will return. The usual running order required some rejigging but by the end of the year, after an almost complete pattern-race schedule, 69 horses had won a Group 1 race in Europe and/or been a British- or Irish-trained winner of such a race in another continent, accumulating a combined haul of 92 top-level contests. Ghaiyyath was crowned Horse of the Year after a 130-rated season in which he won three times at the highest level. Magical also won three, her planned retirement to stud postponed by a year. Love lit up the classic scene with wide-margin wins in the 1000 Guineas and Oaks, whereas the year-older Tarnawa gave the great Irish trainer Dermot Weld an overdue Breeders' Cup victory. Battaash headed the sprinters' division again, Stradivarius' performance in the Gold Cup gave the brilliant stayer a new career-high rating, Palace Pier headed the milers, Sottsass rounded off his career with an Arc triumph, while St Mark's Basilica led the way in a muddled two-year-old division. Some of the year's brightest stars have now moved on to new careers at stud, but many of them will be back in action in 2021 for what promises to be another exciting season. Produced by a racing and pedigrees writer with over 30 years' experience, the author of European Group 1 Winners of 2019, European Group 1 Winners of 2018 and other titles.

Book Synopsis Best Racehorses of 2020 Volume 2 by : Sieglinde McGee
Download or read book Best Racehorses of 2020 Volume 2 written by Sieglinde McGee and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-07 with total page 684 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year 2020 was one for the history books and not just because of the races that ran and the horses that won them. It was a pandemic year, and as we get ready for the 2021 season it is still not known if or when any sense of the old normality will return. The usual running order required some rejigging but by the end of the year, after an almost complete pattern-race schedule, 174 horses had won a Group 2 or Group 3 race in Great Britain and/or Ireland and/or been a British- or Irish-trained winner of such a race in another country, accumulating a total haul of 193 races at those levels. Of those, 26 also won at least once at the highest level, and while that group are reviewed individually in Volume 1: European Group 1 Winners, all of the others are examined here. These prestigious races were as competitive as always and the winners included former Group 1 stars Anthony Van Dyck, Aspetar, Benbatl, Limato, Magic Wand and Romanised, plus standout fillies such as Enbihaar and Fanny Logan, one now retired, the other still in training, whereas the two-year-olds featured several potential Group 1 stars of 2021 including the colt whom many see as the likely Derby hero. Some of the year's brightest stars have now moved on to new careers at stud, a few have gone into alternative retirement or will be continuing their careers in other parts of the world, but most of them will be back in action in 2021 for what promises to be another exciting season.

Download or read book Noor written by Milton C. Toby and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09-04 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Seabiscuit is perhaps the best-known Thoroughbred in history, Charles S. Howard owned another remarkable racehorse that should never be forgotten. Irish-bred Noor dominated the 1950 racing season, setting world records in victories over Citation and winning the Hollywood Gold Cup by defeating a Triple Crown winner, the Horse of the Year and the previous year's Kentucky Derby winner. Sadly, that fame faded as he failed to sire champions, and Noor was buried in an unmarked grave in Northern California decades later. Veteran turf writer Milt Toby recounts Noor's colorful career and the inspiring story of racing enthusiast Charlotte Farmer's personal mission to exhume the Thoroughbred's remains for reburial in central Kentucky years after the horse was inducted into the hall of fame.
