McManus, P., Albrecht, G. and Graham, R. (2013) The global horseracing industry: Social, economic, environmental and ethical perspectives. Routledge, New York, USA.

Abstract

Horseracing, thoroughbred breeding and gambling on racing are global industries worth several hundred billion dollars. They are also industries facing serious challenges, from the rise of alternative forms of leisure gambling to concerns about the ethical treatment of animals in all equestrian sports. This book offers a broad-ranging examination of the contemporary horseracing industry, from geographical, economic, social, ethical and environmental perspectives.
