First published in 1997 'Cheltenham Races' superbly illustrates a subject that is very close to Peter's heart - national hunt horseracing and the fabulous history it shares with Cheltenham.

This book naturally gives more than a passing nod to the Cheltenham Festival held each March and the names that have gone into racing folklore - names such as Arkle, Golden Miller, Desert Orchid, Peter Scudamore, Martin Pipe and Frenchie Nicholson. But it also gives a fascinating insight into the history of racing in Cheltenham from its earliest days and how the growth of the town and its success in racing have been crucially connected.

Truly a book for lovers of racing history and for anyone who has spent even a moment on the hallowed racing turf at Prestbury Park.
