Pent,

Here is a link to a site that has a lot of books.

They look pretty good and they do have special "flat" racing books. I'm not sure if they have exactly what you are looking for though.

Check it out,

Not sure if your interested, but Paul Haigh (a writer for the racing post) has just finished and published a book about the greatest RACE COURSES around the world...... meant to be very good, but quite expensive i think.

You have probably seen this if your a regular on the RP bookshop site

looks like a great book.. Ive been to nine so far. I wouldnt really consider Leopardstown as one of the nicest tracks in the world though..

the list is

Arlington, Ascot, Baden-Baden, Belmont Park, Chantilly, Churchill Downs, The Curragh, Deauville, Del Mar, Epsom Downs, Flemington, Goodwood, Happy Valley, Kranji, Kyoto, Leopardstown, Longchamp, Moonee Valley, Nad Al Sheba, Nakayama, Newmarket, Randwick, Santa Anita, Saratoga, Sha Tin, Tokyo, Woodbine and York

I cant comment on Leopardstown, but i had a look around the curragh (i must say when racing wasnt on, however) and i wasnt impressed with the way it looked.

I wouldnt put Newmarket in there either........... it has been ruined for the 'general' racegoer and punter in my opinion.

York is a lovely course and probably my luckiest track, so i agree with him on that. All the yorkshire tracks have a really good atmosphere.

Although i have only been to Epsom for a couple of night meetings a few years back i wouldnt be preapred to include that in the list either.


Doesnt he include any jump tracks then??????? I cant see how you can have a great racecourse book without including Cheltenham and Punchestown, been to both festivals and they are fantastic (even though i spent the whole night in Dublin airport afterwards)
