Summary "Racehorses in Australia" by Dr. W. H. Lang, Ken Austin, and Dr. Stewart McKay is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the development of the racehorse in Australia, examining the lineage, notable races, and the significance of horse racing in Australian culture. It delves into the importation of thoroughbreds, their breeding, and evolution from early colonial times into the burgeoning horse racing industry that has taken root in Australia. The opening of the book provides a foundational overview, beginning with the initial importation of horses into Australia shortly after European settlement. It describes the humble beginnings of horse racing in the region, emphasizing the first introductions of notable racehorses, such as Manto and Steeltrap, and the role they played in establishing Australia's racing lineage. As the narrative unfolds, it touches on the increasing significance of the racehorse within the emerging colonial society, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the complex racehorse breeding and racing culture that emerged in subsequent chapters.
