Exploring the people, history and issues that shaped British horse racing. .
All racing fans of a certain age will remember where they were when Red Rum made history. April 2nd 1977 was the day when Rummy achieved immortality status by winning his third National. Ascot had their Guineas trials that day, with jumping at Towcester completing the cards.
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.
