Book Synopsis The Cambridge Companion to Horseracing by : Rebecca Cassidy
Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to Horseracing written by Rebecca Cassidy and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-28 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People have been racing horses for thousands of years, all over the world. Yet horseracing is often presented as an English creation that was exported, unaltered, to the colonies. This Companion investigates the intersection of racing and literature, art, history and finance, casting the sport as the product of cross-class, cosmopolitan and international influences. Chapters on racing history and the origins of the thoroughbred demonstrate how the gift of a fast horse could forge alliances between nations, and the extent to which international power dynamics can be traced back to racetracks and breeding sheds. Leading scholars and journalists draw on original research and firsthand experience to create portraits of the racetracks of Newmarket, Kentucky, the Curragh, and Hunter Valley, exposing readers to new racing frontiers in China and Dubai as well. A unique resource for fans and scholars alike, reopening essential questions regarding the legacy and importance of horseracing today.
Book Synopsis Sydney's Pony Racecourses by : Wayne Peake
Download or read book Sydney's Pony Racecourses written by Wayne Peake and published by Humanities Press International. This book was released on 2006 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to the name of the sport, which may evoke memories of children riding Shetland ponies at agricultural shows, most pony races were contested by fully-grown thoroughbreds. Many writers have perpetuated myths about pony racing depicting the sport as a rough-and-ready, corrupt form of weekday racing, featuring midget horses on miniature racecourses, run during the Great Depression. It has been suggested that pony racing appealed to desperate, the 'needy and greedy' elements of the working class only. SYDNEY'S PONY RACECOURSES demonstrates that such assertions are without basis. The sport was one of the country's biggest industries with the prize money for its cup-races matching the Cox Plate. Some of its Sydney racecourses were rated second only to Randwick, and that for a time it was more popular on Saturdays than Australian Jockey Club racing. The four pony racecourses between the city and Botany Bay were an integral part of Sydney life during the first half of the 20th century. Existing histories of horse racing fail to acknowledge the contemporary importance and popularity of pony racing. This alternative history of horseracing enables pony racing to claim its fair share in the past.

Book Synopsis Sport in Australian National Identity by : Tony Ward
Download or read book Sport in Australian National Identity written by Tony Ward and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many Australians, there are two great passions: sport and ‘taking the piss’. This book is about national identity – and especially about Australia’s image as a sporting country. Whether reverent or not, any successful national image has to reflect something about the reality of the country. But it is also influenced by the reasons that people have for encouraging particular images – and by the conflicts between differing views of national identity, and of sport. Buffeted by these elements, both the extent of Australian sports madness and the level of stirring have varied considerably over time. While many refer to long-lasting factors, such as the amount of sunshine, this book argues that the ebb and flow of sporting images are strongly linked to current views of national identity. Starting from Archer’s win in the first Melbourne Cup in 1861, it traces the importance of trade unions in the formation of Australian Rules, the success of a small rural town in holding one of the world’s foremost running races, and the win-from-behind of a fat arsed wombat knocking off the official mascots of Sydney 2000. This book was based on a special issue of Soccer and Society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by recent debate, the purpose of this collection of essays on private law doctrines, remedies and methods is to celebrate and illustrate the contribution that both 'top-down' and 'bottom-up' methods of reasoning make to the development of private law.
