THE
NEW ZEALAND RACING ANNUAL 2005 Edited
and Publisher, David Bradford
Dave Bradford and the New Zealand Racing Annual have come a long
way since 1972 when the publication first appeared.
That
inaugural edition is a very modest affair when compared with
the just released
slick 2005 publication. Now a beautifully processed
book, it is printed on glossy paper, has a gorgeous photographic
coverage and is splendidly laid out using the most modern printing
techniques available.
Dave
Bradford (known as Brick to his old mates) was the pioneer publisher
for the first three years and
came back into harness
with a very upmarket publication about eight years ago.
All
New Zealand's major carnivals have vivid editorial and
photographic coverage and there are further in-depth features
on the remarkable mare Horlicks (Three Legs-Malt, by Moss Trooper)
, now aged 22 years, and the evergreen and highly respected
trainer
Colin Jillings, who retired in the 12 months under review.
There
is the usual Australian coverage on major events across the
Tasman and in Asia where Kiwi breds feature so prominently
in Singapore,
Hong Kong and Macau.
Bradford
and his business partner, his wife Sonia, are a great publishing
team and have done themselves
and the
New
Zealand
racing industry proud with their 2005 New Zealand Racing
Annual.
As
we have commented for years in reviewing various Racing Annual
numbers, it's just a pity that there has
never been an index in any edition to date. It would
give each annual added longevity
as an ongoing reference.
