Review
Whitaker shows, in this sumptuous book, that his talent for, dedication to and love of his subject are unending ... The image of Danehill being hosed down is a thing of abstract beauty and AP McCoy's battered face has a filmic quality... His best would grace our, and every other publications pages. Quite simply, the man loves his subject, and it shows --Greg Whitmore, The Observer

Whitaker's pictures range from the stunning to the shocking, but above all, they show a celebration of racing, from the glamorous ladies at Ascot to the long hours spent training. No racing-lover should be without it --Horse & Hound
