{"product_id":"legends-of-the-turf-charl-pretorius-9781456462772","title":"Legends Of The Turf: Rare Profiles From South African Horseracing History","description":"LEGENDS OF THE TURF (Volume 1) is award-winning South African journalist Charl Pretorius' first book since 2006, a compilation of updated personality profiles and articles from his popular column of the same title that ran for over seven years in the Johannesburg daily, The Citizen.Following the success of Horse Chestnut: The Story Of A Legend (coauthored with Mike de Kock) and The Ten Habits of Highly Effective Horseplayers, Pretorius' latest work is a delightful journey into the annals of horseracing history. Sad and nostalgic at times, Legends Of The Turfincludes ten striking chapters and a new bonus profile, documenting extensive research and personal interviews with some of the industry'sbiggest names. Enlightening, controversial and richly entertaining, Legends Of The Turf is the result of one man's love for horseracing and his deep admiration for its heroes, hailed or unsung. It's a collector's piece for all individualswith an interest in the Sport Of Kings, but its general theme of human trials and tribulations has cross-over appeal for any reader who enjoysgood story-telling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charl Pretorius\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1456462776\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781456462772\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/05\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.27d","brand":"Charl Pretorius","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46233014173951,"sku":"9781456462772","price":5.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b90a3b1f-a38a-40c6-9e6e-06e8569d1a17.jpg?v=1728991813","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/legends-of-the-turf-charl-pretorius-9781456462772","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
