Gallant Sport: The Authentic History of Liverpool Races and the Grand National

From the point of view of a fan of the Grand National this book is simply the best ever written about the race. Mr. Pinfold eschews the standard, received history of the National and, instead, has delved into the true background using contemporary sources. Not content with simply re-hashing the usual repetitive 'facts', he has turned received opinion on its head and, quite simply, rewritten the history of this great race. No longer should 'Lottery' be considered the first winner (it was 'The Duke') nor should Maghull be considered the original home of the National - it has always been Aintree.
