Aborigines and the ‘Sport of Kings’ celebrates the significant and exciting involvement of Aboriginal people in Australian racing history. The result of Maynard’s historical research and insider’s perceptions is a remarkable social and sports history of one of Australia’s most popular cultural institutions. The book is a valuable curative to the apparent disinterest shown by academic historians of society, culture and sport, as well as sports journalists. Biographies, anecdotes and photographs enliven the text.
