Gareth Edwards finished it off after Phil Bennett’s triple side step near his own posts and other immortals combined to decimate the 1973 All Blacks in what was no “Baa-Baas” type exhibition match. It was a grudge match fought hard by the All but they do not beat each other about the head to the Blacks because most of the Barbarians had made up point of collapse.

  • Kinship, Class and Thoroughbred Breeding in Newmarket
    This page intentionally left blank The Sport of Kings The Sport of Kings is an ethnography of the British racing industry based upon two years of participant observation in Newmarket, the international headquarters of flat racing. Racing in Britain provides a lens through which ideas of class, status, tradition and hierarchy can be examined in an environ- ment which is both superficially familiar and richly exotic. This book explores concepts about ‘nature’ specific to thoroughbred racehorse breeding, and pur- sues the idea that in making statements about animals, we reveal something of ourselves. It explains the action that takes place on racecourses, in training yards, on studs and at bloodstock auctions. It analyses the consumption of racing through betting on the racecourse and in betting shops, and it proffers an insightful description of a unique class system: that of the humans and animals involved in the production of British flat racing. rebecca cassidy is Lecturer in Anthropology at Goldsmiths College, University of London.

  • JOE MERCER DIES at 86 by Emma Berry in February, the Inevitable Announcement Came That Pivotal (GB) Was to Be Pensioned at Cheveley Park Stud at the Age of 28
    TUESDAY, 18 MAY 2021 THE WEEKLY WRAP: COMING OF AGE JOE MERCER DIES AT 86 By Emma Berry In February, the inevitable announcement came that Pivotal (GB) was to be pensioned at Cheveley Park Stud at the age of 28. David and Patricia Thompson's homebred son of Polar Falcon has been one of the great British breeding stories of the last few decades and the sturdy chestnut has been a great friend to small and major breeders alike through his magnificent stud innings. As he continues his retirement, so does his legacy gain momentum. A few months before Pivotal was retired, his son Siyouni (Fr) had been crowned champion sire in his native France for the first time. The Aga Khan Studs stallion had only missed out on earning that title in the two previous seasons to Galileo (Ire) and Nathaniel (Ire), respectively the sires of the high-earning Arc winners Waldgeist (GB) and Enable (GB) in Joe Mercer at Ascot in 2017 | Getty Images those two years. Then Siyouni got his own Arc winner, Sottsass (Fr), augmenting a profile which already had a properly classy By John Berry look to it. British racing has lost one of its greatest figures with the In each of the last four seasons, Siyouni has been responsible passing of former champion jockey Joe Mercer OBE at the age of for a French Classic winner.
