Bloodstock Breeding, Third Reprint With Revisions Vintage Horse Bloodlines Book

By Sir Charles Leicester
Published by J.A. Allen Co., London, 1st published in this revised edition in 1964.
When Bloodstock Breeding was first published in 1957, it was hailed as a standard reference work by an authority on the subject. Bloodstock Breeding is intended to serve and inform all those whose aim is to breed a winning racehorse. The book is presented in two parts: the theory as it affects all bloodstock breeders, and the practice as it has been borne out in the Derby, which remains the pinnacle of British racing. The first section deals with the mechanics of breeding, and discusses all matters from basic principles to flights of fancy involving astrology. The second section traces the history of the Derby 1900-1957 through its winners, with notes on the influence they and their relatives have had. In this section can be found reference to the careers of most well-known horses of this time period, including those who have made an important contribution to breeding overseas, from the United States and Canada to Australia and New Zealand. Sir Charles Leicester spent a life-time in contact with breeding stock in Ireland and elsewhere. His intention was to provide in Bloodstock Breeding information and ideas which would be of importance and practical usefulness not only to thoroughbred breeders, owners and trainers, and students of heredity, but to anyone with a serious interest in the racehorse. Has several black & white photos of foundation stallions during this era & pull out pedigree charts. Has paper dust jacket with minor damage, book looks in excellent condition! Hard to find older edition!
