Kritik
This is a book written with real enthusiasm. It is accessible, detailed, consistently insightful and nuanced. It is particularly strong on the ways in which social class representations articulated with racing and local and national levels of British identity, but there is some sensible recognition of the ways in which women were portrayed. The complexities of gambling's relationship with racing are all brought out well. Enthusiasts of sport, film, media and culture will learn much from this book."
