Australia's turf grew from a single imported mare into a national passion. Lang traces the racehorse down under from prehistoric days through the first race mare, the foundation stallions, and the great brood mares that built the breed. A spirited history for anyone who loves the thunder of hooves. Follow the bloodlines that made a horse-racing nation.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
