Acerca de este libro electrónico
In 1964, Arkle's first-place finish in the Cheltenham Gold Cup was the first big win by Ireland's most celebrated racehorse: the horse by which all others are measured. Fifty years on from the start of his incredible career - which included wins in the Cheltenham Gold Cup (three times), Irish Grand National, Hennessy Gold Cup, King George VI Chase and Punchestown Gold Cup - Anne Holland looks at Arkle's life and legend through the eyes of those who knew him best .
She describes Arkle's career, his incredible wins, and the people involved with him , interviewing many of his connections, including Jim Dreaper, Paddy Woods, Tom Taaffe, sculptor Emma McDermott, the Baker family and others . Arkle was a star - the story goes that he received items of fan mail addressed to 'Himself, Ireland' - and th is is a well-researched and intimate portrait of a legendary horse.
