Of High Weights And Low Weights by Australian sportswriter Marc Fiddian unpacks the little-known history of horse racing weights, ideal for equestrian enthusiasts and YA to adult readers curious about handicapping lore. This slim, illustrated 2023 paperback from Bookpod pairs concise stats with lively anecdotes, making a unique gift for anyone who loves the track or pony club stories.
The 148-page volume arrives in very good secondhand shape: spine smooth, pages crisp, no notes, dog-ears, or smoke smell—ready to shelve or wrap. Clean margins mean jotted calculations or stable records can be added without distraction, while the compact format tucks easily into a race-day tote or saddlebag.
Collectors of niche Australian sporting titles will appreciate Fiddian’s signature blend of meticulous research and accessible storytelling, delivered here without inscriptions, library marks, or personalization. Grab this affordable copy to round out your equestrian history shelf before the next jump-off.
