As might be imagined from its historic position as the acknowledged home of horse racing, there is no shortage of books about Newmarket; none, however,provides a definitive history of Newmarket Heath and the key figures who contributed to its transformation from untamed heath land to the worlds finest racing ground. This comprehensive and authoritative book is the first to trace this history from its early beginnings to the present day and to show how and why the sport of horse racing developed on the heath and spread globally from that base. All of the turfs greatest racehorses and the larger-than-life characters integral to the heaths history are included
