Large Paperback
Twenty-One years have passed since Horse Chestnuts retirement from racing. Much has happened since then.
South African racing experienced a corporate metamorphosis, new leaders appeared on the scene and ran their course; a stunning and unexpected crash occurred; and an inspired group of new leaders have taken several important steps to recovery.
The sport is not near the same as it used to be for the older crowd the new leadership will be focused, more than ever, on using digital technology to bring new fans to racing as the older ones disappear.
While the feel and the landscape have changed, the greats of the game remain the same, and there has been a steady demand for the December 2000 hard-cover original,Horse Chestnut: The Story of a Legend,since our print run sold out in bookshops at the end of 2001.
Demand is one of the reasons why authors Mike de Kock and Charl Pretorhis monthin a shortened version, and with certain sections omitted due to being irrelevant all these years later.
Pretorius said: Most important, we never had a chance to make the book available in digital format and potentially thousands of readers would have missed out. When we published at the turn of the century, we were required to do weeks of negotiation with the likes of Amazon and Barnes & Noble for global exposure of our printed copies which, at the time, came to about 100 copies exported to the USA at great cost.
