Stimulated by a chance purchase in a second hand bookshop, Steve decided on pursuing a path into the exclusive world of horse ownership. He set out to see what was possible with a tiny share in a horse. What follows is a story that unfolds over two years and three countries, as Steve brings about his dream of horse ownership on a shoestring.
His travels take him to Longchamp on Arc day, Haydock Park on Lancashire Chase day, picturesque Cartmel on August Bank Holiday weekend, the unique Bangor on Dee and Pontefract racecourses.
This tongue in cheek account of ownership, reflects on the ups and downs all owners must face and it offers a unique insight into the arcane world of racehorse ownership, without the author risking a visit to the bankruptcy courts.
