New Market: Its Sports and Personalities offers a comprehensive and engaging chronicle of one of the most significant locations in the history of British horse racing. This work delves into the rich traditions, legendary races, and the colorful figures who defined the turf at Newmarket from its early developments through the early 20th century.

The book serves as both a historical record and a tribute to the Headquarters of racing, exploring the evolution of the sport under the patronage of royalty and the influence of the Jockey Club. Frank Siltzer masterfully weaves together anecdotes of famous owners, trainers, and jockeys with detailed accounts of the town's architectural and social growth. Readers will find vivid descriptions of the heath, the training grounds, and the high-stakes atmosphere that made Newmarket a focal point of English sporting life.
