Recensioner i media

This is the complete history of the sport in North America. And it's incredible. Compiled with a comb and a magnifying glass, this book is a masterpiece done with the broad swath of a paint brush and meticulous touch of a surgeon's scalpel. -- Sean Clancy Steeplechase Times It took Peter Winants six years to complete this definitive work of his career as a writer, journalist, and photographer, but in it he's captured just about everything of importance that's ever happened in American steeplechasing. -- John Strassburger The Chronicle Of The Horse ...gloriously illustrated. Sports Illustrated
