Welcome to Going Behind

Welcome to Going Behind, an unashamedly nostalgic blog dedicated to horse racing’s golden days of the past. In this blog I will share vintage racecards, clippings and news stories plucked from the newspapers of the day. If you have any requests please contact me via the link at the top of the page and I’ll do my very best to dig them out. I can provide full racecards and newspaper pages as .pdf files for a negotiable fee. Again, please contact me for details. I have provided this service for a number of jockeys and trainers who were keen to recall their careers but hadn’t got access to old newspapers.

Comments and conversation are very welcome but please do not use the comments facility to criticise any jockeys or trainers. This site is for pure nostalgia.

Enjoy…

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.
