#BR24 is done aside from the final big index, which is underway. That will take about 2 weeks to complete. Then there's just a few final bits to be done to ready the manuscript for publication to Amazon's KDP. Best Racehorses of 2024 is a 500+ page A4 size book + won't be in shops #HorseRacing 🐎

The list of horses still to have their essays written for Best Racehorses of 2024. The Introduction section will be finished next, the manuscript formatted, pedigree charts integrated, and then the various rounds of editing begin. #HorseRacing #BR24 #RacingSky 🐎

I caught a Hundo Ho-Oh during today's #PokemonGo Shadow Raids, using a remote raid pass 🥳 I caught a shiny Ho-Oh too, but its stats are a bit rubbish lol

I can see a nose! I’ll get the remaining Gr2/3 winners done this week and then it will be time to get stuck into the Gr1 winners #HorseRacing #RacingSky 🐎

All this ridiculous obsession with juvenile sprint speed in stallions getting huge books of mares each year and yet take a look at the sires getting the top-priced foals in Newmarket today. All classic middle-distance stamina sires, which is what the industry needs more of! #HorseRacing #RacingSky 🐎

Definitely can't complete with that level of cool! I'm more the scruffy nerd look. I plan to have Dragonite as my Level 47 buddy, so half the act will be look good lol, although how a mobility impaired person like myself is going to complete two of the four extra tasks there remains to be seen 😆

I met quite a few former Group 1 stars during my road trip in 2017. It was a lot of driving in two weeks, but totally worth it, even if I missed whatever joke Pivotal heard during my stop at Cheveley Park Stud. Such a hugely influential stallion. #HorseRacing #RacingSky 🐎

One from a road trip I made in 2017: multiple Group 1 star and leading National Hunt sire Kayf Tara, then aged 23. I took the photo at his long-time home, Overbury Stud. #HorseRacing #RacingSky 🐎

I got to know Desert King very well when I was a student at the Irish National Stud. Such a wonderful personality. He's a 1yo in this pic I took at Goffs. He sold for IR£175,000, won the Irish 2000 Guineas + Irish Derby, and his G1Ws inc 3x Melbourne Cup heroine Makybe Diva #HorseRacing

I spotted this in a small coffee shop in Hay-on-Wye back in 2017

Best Racehorses of 2023 is the latest annual in the series. Out since April 2024, it's only available on Amazon (if in Ireland, .co.uk does not work - use .fr or .de) because that's the only way an independent author of limited funds can produce such a book (700p pages, niche area) #HorseRacing

This weekend's article takes a quick look at the earliest career win of Group 1-winning racehorses in Europe for 2022 + 2023.
