Champion horses and champion people abound in this 31st edition of the New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing Annual.

The exploits of Sunline, Ethereal, St Steven, Lance O'Sullivan, Sheila Laxon and Scott Seamer are related in the gripping style which has become synonymous with New Zealand's longest running and most colourful racing book.

In a glorious season for New Zealand Thoroughbreds Sunline was voted Horse Of The Year in both Australia and her homeland and inducted into Australia's Hall Of Fame. Ethereal, in two gripping Australian campaigns won the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups and beat the best around at weight-for-age in Sydney in the autumn.

In April St Steven went to Japan to win the world's richest jumping race and in the winter recaptured his best form in Melbourne.

On the jockey scene Lance O'Sullivan shattered all the riding records and Scott Seamer became the star of the New Zealand's summer racing.

All this action, plus the celebration of 25 years of Group 1 racing in New Zealand, awaits the reader in the 2002 NZ Thoroughbred Racing Annual.

Edited by award winning journalist Dave Bradford and containing excellent contributions from the cream of New Zealand's racing writers in Mike Dillon, Dennis Ryan, Phillip Quay and Adrian Rodley the annual is a must for any racing enthusiasts bookshelf.

With stunning photographs from racing photographers Trish Dunell and Race Images the book will also sit well on any coffee table to be picked up and glanced at again and again.
