Anne Holland

Few racing writers are better equipped to pen this portrait of Best Mate than Anne Holland. Having owned, trained and ridden many winners in the amateur ranks, she understands intimately the heartbreaks, the hopes and the thrills found in this heroic sport. Anne Holland is author of numerous books on horseracing including Steeplechasing, A Celebration of 250 Years; Classic Horse Races; Grand National, The Official Celebration of 150 Years; Stride by Stride, The Illustrated Story of Horseracing; and Dawn Run, The Story of a Champion Racehorse and her Remarkable Owner. She lives blissfully in rural Ireland where she hunts as much as possible, enjoys going racing and breeds NH horses. Anne Holland is an established authority on both flat-racing and steeplechasing, and author of many acclaimed and authorised books on the subject.
