Open the cover and eight jockeys greet you in their racing silks. Turn to the foldout and the chestnut racehorse Matilda steps into view. David Oldrey tells the stories behind the sporting art in England’s Jockey Club Rooms, including Harry Hall’s jockey portraits and J. F. Herring Sr.’s painting of Matilda.
Published by The Jockey Club in 2006 and photographed, designed, and printed by Christie’s, this illustrated hardcover is a find for anyone who loves racing as much for its history as for the finish line. We’ve seen this edition offered on Amazon for much more than our paltry $15!
