Biography & Memoir History Sport & Recreation
The Immortals of Australian Horse Racing: The Thoroughbreds by Alan Whitwick is a richly illustrated non‑fiction work that celebrates the history of Australian racing and its legendary horses. It blends biography, sport and Australian history, making it a compelling read for adults and young adults interested in horses, racing culture and national heritage.
Published in 2021 as a first‑edition hardcover, the book runs 208 pages and comes with its original dust jacket. Full‑color illustrations throughout add visual depth to the narrative, while the sturdy binding ensures durability for repeated use.
The copy comes from a smoke‑free home and shows only minor wear: the front inner cover paper has a small corner cut out. It is also personalized, which is noted as part of the condition rather than a signature.
Overall, this well‑preserved, illustrated volume is an attractive addition for collectors of Australian sport history or anyone looking to explore the stories behind the country’s most famous thoroughbreds.
