Remarkable Racecourses is a collection of the world’s most amazing places to watch a horse race.  Many of the courses are steeped in history, like Epsom, Chantilly, or the Piazza del Campo in Siena.  Other racecourses are breathtakingly beautiful, such as Zonza set high in the Corsican mountains, or Cartmel in England’s Lake District.  The challenging steeplechases of Aintree, Flanders, Punchestown and the fearsome Pardubice take their place alongside the famous blue riband courses of Flat racing, from scot to La Zarzuela.  At Laytown in Ireland, horses race along the sandbanks once a year, while in Birdsville, Queensland, the sand in question is the Simpson Desert.  Whether racing on the flat, over fences, on sand, turf or even snow, Remarkable Racecourses gathers together stories from the world’s finest and quirkiest racecourses and combines them with a gallery of stunning photography.
