THE MELBOURNE CUP 1861 – 1982, by Maurice Cavanough

First published in 1960, this 9th edition was published by Lloyd O’Neil Pty Ltd in 1983. Hardcover (22 x 14 cm and almost 5 cm wide) with intact dust jacket, the book runs to 546 pages and gives every detail that horse-racing fans could want about the “race that stops a nation” in Australia. Very good condition apart from a pen inscription on the first inside page .
