If ever a racehorse deserved to enter the history books as a record breaker that racehorse was Branston Abby.
A mare with whom the word toughness, bravery and honesty grew to be synonymous, Branston Abby not only became the most successful British-trained mare of the postwar era by winning 24 races but also a much-loved character who won the respect and affection of racehorse from York to Munich.
Leaning heavily on the copious and colourful memories of her owners, trainers and jockeys, the story of Branston Abby, the wayward filly who became a mare in a million, is a true romance of the Turf to be read and enjoyed by anyone with even a passing interest in the ‘Sport of Kings’.
