Racing in Britain provides a lens through which ideas of class, status, tradition and hierarchy can be examined in an environment which is both superficially familiar and richly exotic. This book explores concepts about 'nature' specific to thoroughbred racehorse breeding, and pursues the idea that in making statements about animals, we reveal something of ourselves. It explains the action that takes place on racecourses, in training yards, on studs and at bloodstock auctions. It analyses the consumption of racing through betting on the racecourse and in betting shops, and it proffers an insightful description of a unique class system: that of the humans and animals involved in the production of British flat racing. 606 $aThoroughbred horse$xBreeding$zEngland$zNewmarket (Suffolk) 606 $aRace horses$xBreeding$zEngland$zNewmarket (Suffolk) 606 $aHorse racing$zEngland$zNewmarket (Suffolk) 606 $aHorse industry$zEngland$zNewmarket (Suffolk) 615 0$aThoroughbred horse$xBreeding 615 0$aRace horses$xBreeding 615 0$aHorse racing 615 0$aHorse industry 676 $a636.1/322/094264 700 $aCassidy$b Rebecca$0849484 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456214003321 996 $aThe sport of kings$91897010 997 $aUNINA
