The View From the Clouds

In thirty-two years of race broadcasting, John Hunt witnessed some of the greatest stories of the track, particularly from the world of harness racing. The champions, the glory, the tragedy, the drama, the passion and the humour. The View From the Clouds peels back the layers of horse racing, revealing the core truths beneath its skin. A biography that recalls the deeds of some of the greatest pacers that ever lived and an industry’s human participants, both famed and unheralded. It is also the story of the unique career that evolved in the broadcast box above them, and a tribute to the wonderful world of horses and the people who would guide them.
