More DescriptionIn a series of evocative, informative pieces from around the racing world, Nicholas Godfrey visits 20 different countries on six continents, from unforgettable high-profle events at major racecourses--such as the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs or the Dubai World Cup at billion-dollar Meydan--to racing venues on the road less traveled--like Morocco, Uruguay and Switzerland, where they race on a frozen lake in St. Moritz. Among those he encounters are America's mighty mare Zenyatta, Triple Crown hero American Pharoah and Black Caviar, the "Wonder from Down Under." As well as reliving his experiences, Godfrey prefaces each postcard with a how-to guide for those wishing to follow in his footsteps.
