Description

Flying Sulkies: A History of the New Zealand Trotting Cup 1904-1980 by Bernie Wood. 'The very best that trotting can offer! That's how the great horseman Cecil Devine regards the New Zealand Cup, for which the country's finest standardbreds have contested at Addington every year since 1904. Author Bernie Wood chronicles the dramatic history of the Cup from the first race, won by the 14-year-old straight-out trotter Monte Carlo, to the enthralling 1980 battle between the virtual novice Hands Down and the 'Queen of the North' Delightful Lady. Through the years we meet a host of great horses including Advance, the only three-year-old to contest the race, finishing 2nd in 1907; Wildwood Junior, who won by a record 40 yards in his only start in the 1909 season; Reta Peter, the mare and straight-out trotter. who won twice; Author Dillon; the brothers.' The dust jacket is in a well worn condition with much tape repair. The book has a tear down the top back end page and the binding is becoming loose but holding together well.
