Exploring the people, history and issues that shaped British horse racing. .
Today we go way back to the 1974 Cheltenham Festival. This is too far back in time for even me to remember, although some of the great horses in action throughout the week are etched in my horse racing memory. The PDFs are once again here for you to download and keep.
Steve Bradley is the man behind this project, an unashamedly nostalgic website dedicated to horse racing’s golden days of the past, featuring vintage racecards, clippings and news stories plucked from the newspapers of the day. A devotee of horse racing’s halcyon days from the 1960s to the 1990s, Steve caught the racing bug as a small boy living near Catterick racecourse, where he was lucky enough to see the great Red Rum in action in the 1970s. He has undertaken private research commissions for various figures within the racing industry. Away from racing he enjoys spending time with his retired greyhound, bar billiards, music, TV, films, reading and travel.
