Sheikh Mohammed's Darly
Stud enterprise has generously distributed to
their friends, family and
supporters their
latest Diary. Its beautifully covered in silk and suede,
the royal blue colours are
embossed on the cover and
the
text is
in silver leaf . A very elegant "racing companion",
it has horse-phrasing terms , from the world
of thoroughbred
racing, which, for
almost three centuries have enriched the
English language with its figures of
speech, ' pinhooking,
dead heat, kick on, dark
horses etc... these are words and expressions that are now
commonplace but each with a story
that has been obscured by the
passing of the years......This diary has the 'inside
track' on the .. best .. racing
...terms
