New children's book brings world of racing to life through a horse
['Isabella Perrin']
Bracknell News | News
Side Glance: Life after the Finish Line tells the story of former racehorse Side Glance, Ascot’s official equine ambassador.
Aimed at children aged five to eight, the book is the result of a collaboration between CBeebies JoJo and Gran Gran creator Laura Henry-Allain MBE and illustrator Lou Baker Smith.
Side Glance’s former trainer Andrew Balding said: "Side Glance gave us some fantastic days during his racing career and was a wonderful horse to train, so it's incredibly rewarding to see him continuing to make such a positive impact long after he retired."
The project is funded by the Britannia Stakes initiative and reflects Ascot’s commitment to education, community engagement, and responsible racing.
For each copy sold, £1 will be donated to the Ascot Racecourse Supports community and charity programme.
