Triumph Books Justify: 111 Days to Triple Crown Glory
Book SynopsisWith a trademark powerful stride amid a blaze of red and yellow silks, Justify emphatically crossed the finish line at the 2018 Belmont Stakes and became just the 13th winner of horse racing's elusive Triple Crown. One of the most charismatic and talented runners in the history of the sport, Justify was also one of its most unlikely champions; the late-blooming chestnut colt made his competitive debut only 111 days prior to that legendary victory. In Justify: 111 Days to Triple Crown Glory, veteran scribe Lenny Shulman (BloodHorse magazine) provides an insider account of this Thoroughbred’s rise to greatness. Through extensive interviews and first-hand accounts, readers will discover the fascinatingly disparate cast of characters who were crucial to Justify’s success, including trainer Bob Baffert, whose innate ability to identify equine talent also produced American Pharoah; Mike Smith, the 52-year-old jockey asserting himself in the miraculous third act of his career; and breeders John and Tanya Gunther, who believed in Justify’s ability despite the developmental imperfections that drove buyers away. Packed with riveting action, keen insight, and behind-the-scenes perspectives on quieter figures like silent investors, international stakeholders, and unheralded training staff, Justify is an illuminating look at the modern Thoroughbred industry and an essential story for the ages.

O'Brien Press Ltd Thrills and Spills: Celebrating Irish Jump Racing
Book SynopsisFor four decades HEALY RACING has photographed the world of Irish horse racing. Delving into an archive of thousands of images, photographer Pat Healy and sports journalist Donn McClean selected over 200 golden Irish jump-racing moments. Their book captures the last decade of thrills and spills (2011–2020) – the sheer spectacle that is the Irish horse-racing scene. The sport’s biggest personalities, and their horses, are celebrated through the lens: JP McManus, Michael O’Leary and Gigginstown House Stud, Rich and Susannah Ricci, Willie, Patrick and Danny Mullins, Gordon Elliott, Jessica Harrington, Jonjo O’Neill, Henry de Bromhead, Nina and Paul Carberry, Ted, Ruby and Katie Walsh, Barry Geraghty, Davy Russell, AP McCoy, Paul Townend, Jack Kennedy, Rachel Blackmore, Bryan Cooper, Robbie Power, Jamie Codd, Lisa O’Neill and so many more. For every leap of victory and fist pump, there is a crunching fall or a win that almost was: HEALY RACING has captured it all.Trade ReviewThrills and Spills to bring a smile to your face … a beautiful collection of jump racing memories * The Irish Field *Beautiful … from the picturesque to the poignant … succeeds wonderfully * Irish Daily Mail *Beautiful * The Irish Field *Loving the new book * UTV Life’s Pamela Ballantine *Great stocking filler from @patcashhealy * @equisoftlive *What a fabulous publication. Well done to everyone at Healy Racing. A must buy for any racing fan * @davekeena1 *Very good book from good people * @swflanagan7 *A fantastic collection of racing memories from Ireland’s finest @patcashhealy Highly recommend it for all racing fans * RTE Racing’s Hugh Cahill *A timeless collection of racing memories * The Kerryman *Magic moments with precision and emotion...it is impossible to imagine a meeting in Ireland without the presence of the Healy Racing photography team, and their book is a collection of some of the most memorable moments of the last decade. With captions provided by leading racing writer and broadcaster Donn McClean, this nicely arranged hardback takes the reader on a trip down memory lane during a period of bumper success for Irish jump racing and it does a fine job of capturing the emotions in play. As the title suggests, there is no shortage of dramatic and chaotic action shots, with horses hitting the deck and riders propelled into unorthodox positions as they part company with their mounts. High-profile Cheltenham Festival and Grand National wins feature, but the collection not only celebrates the standout top-level successes from 2011 to 2020 it also shines a light on some of Ireland’s scenic summer tracks and point-to-point venues. Many of the most eyecatching pictures capture scenes of wild celebrations, and such scenes of unbridled joy acts as a stark reminder of how badly missed racegoers have been this year. However, at a time when a return to normal circumstances seems difficult to envisage, Thrills and Spills is a welcome tonic to whet the appetite for whenever we can all finally return to racecourses * Racing Post *
