Publishers Description: The Melbourne Cup has thrown a variety of horses and people into the public spotlight, sometimes only fleetingly. This book charts the enthralling history of the uneducated journeymen, dynastical silvertails, plucky jockeys and intrepid trainers whose stories sometimes transcend those of the victorious horses. With snappy 500 word chapters on each winner, this distinctive racing history is more than a story of horses. Explore the yarns, myths and racing idiosyncracies that have made the Melbourne Cup the race that stops a nation.
