Opis
A comprehensive account of the rich 200-year history of two of the world's quirkiest racecourses, Les Landes in Jersey and L'Ancresse in Guernsey.
As of 2025, there were 59 racecourses operating in Britain, from Perth in Scotland to Newton Abbot in Devon, and another 28 in Ireland. Almost all of them have had a book written about their history, as have many more historic, now defunct, tracks.
However, there are two racecourses, both in British Crown Dependencies, which do not have a book dedicated to their history. This is a notably odd omission as the islands they are on have enjoyed properly organised racing for almost 200 years – both reportedly began the sport in 1832 – hosting leading jockeys, trainers, owners and runners over the decades.
Graham Sharpe and John Henwood's comprehensive and engaging Jersey Jockeys and Guernsey Gallopers: A History of Channel Islands Horse-Racing corrects this ridiculous racing omission. It explores how the tracks in the two Channel Islands – currently Les Landes in Jersey and L'Ancresse in Guernsey – developed and flourished over the years, although the ongoing future of the latter is seriously under threat.
