«This unique book is a fascinating account of the British monarchy’s interest in and influence on Racing; of their famous horses such as Escape, Persimmon, Diamond Jubilee, Minoru and Scuttle; of the triumphs and despairs of the Royal owners — notably George IV, Edward VII and George V — as the success of their stables ebbed and flowed; and of the men who dedicated their lives to the service of Royal Racing — the managers of the Royal Horses, the trainers and the jockeys.»
