![]() just for those who are interested.. the book is out now from the racingpost shop. https://www.racingpost.co.uk/bookshop/home.sd
heres the description of it from the post: The official story of the much travelled super-mare, beautifully illustrated and written by her owner, Lord Derby. It was not only her owner Lord Derby whose life was changed by Ouija Board winning the 2004 Oaks. Her victory in the Epsom Classic delivered a new superstar to British racing, and before long she was captivating race-goers all over the world. She won big races on three continents and competed in seven different countries; she won two Breeders’ Cup races in the USA; and her eyeball-to-eyeball showdown with Alexander Goldrun at Goodwood in August 2006 was universally hailed as one of the greatest races ever. When she won the Oaks, Ouija Board was the only horse Lord Derby had in training. But it was his ancestor the twelfth Earl of Derby who had in the late eighteenth century founded – and given his name to – the most famous race in the world, and the extraordinary story of Ouija Board and her exploits around the racing globe is inextricably entwined with the long history of the greatest racing family of all.
