Their Last Ride by John H Payne is the only complete record of every jockey who lost his life on Australian racetracks from 1810 to 2020. Across 645 illustrated pages the book blends biography, horse-sport history and raw outback colour to honour the riders behind the statistics.
Collectors of Australian racing history will appreciate the detailed timelines, archival images and township maps that make this 2020 first edition a ready reference. The animal stories and bush folklore also invite fans of equestrian non-fiction and nature writing to linger.
This used paperback shows mild wear—tiny punch holes on the first five leaves, light ripple to a few pages and a tidy tear on the upper cover—yet the binding is tight and every page turns freely. No writing, no smoke odour, just an affordable copy ready for the shelf or the saddlebag.
Grab Their Last Ride today for a moving tribute to Australia’s fallen jockeys and a vivid window into the nation’s turf heritage.
