The problem you may find with the Favourite Racehorses book is that many (the majority) of the horses voted for are jumpers. Arkle is at #1 (incidentally would have won a vote for best racehorse as well!), ahead of Desert Orchid and Red Rum.
It's still a very good read, particularly if you want to learn more about the wonderful world of jumping! Other than that there isn't much I can think of. We don't do anything approximal at Timeform. I did have an excellent book by the great racing historians John Randall and Tony Morris - called something simple like Horse Racing, can't quite remember - but that was printed about 15 years ago. Don't know if there have been any revised editions since, but well worth looking into.
