Best Racehorses of 2024 is out, but for now those of us in Ireland need to use .com because it's not yet up as available here on the European sites. Hopefully they'll fix that soon! #HorseRacing #RacingSky #GrandNational 🐎

The Best Racehorses of 2024 annual will be on sale soon! With approx. 20% more content than previous editions, it is in A4 paperback instead of 6x9. As always, only available via Amazon (because they print it). Best Racehorses of 2025 may be hardback instead. #HorseRacing #BR24 🐎 #RacingSky

The light level from this partial eclipse doesn't look any different to that of most mornings in Ireland this year. 🧐 Bit of an anticlimax lol

#BR24 is done aside from the final big index, which is underway. That will take about 2 weeks to complete. Then there's just a few final bits to be done to ready the manuscript for publication to Amazon's KDP. Best Racehorses of 2024 is a 500+ page A4 size book + won't be in shops #HorseRacing 🐎

Interesting dilemma in the editing process on Best Racehorses of 2024. The choice is either to chop 15-20% of the content (the printers, Amazon, have a strict page limit) or increase the page size. Doing the latter. If it works out then hardback option for BR of 2025 #HorseRacing #BR24

Sieglinde McGee @sieglindemcgee.bsky.social · Feb 28

The photo of the multiple Group 1 star who will adorn the cover of Best Racehorses of 2024 has arrived, pedigree charts are being added to the manuscript, and the next round of editing is under way. #NearlyThere #HorseRacing #BR24 #RacingSky 🐎

Sieglinde McGee @sieglindemcgee.bsky.social · Feb 23

Round 1 Edit has been completed on Best Racehorses of 2024. Now the manuscript is to be compiled from Scrivener into its Word template so the pedigree charts can be added and the formatting applied, and then The Big Edit begins. #BR24 #HorseRacing #NearlyThere #RacingSky 🐎

Time for a break for some online gaming and then back to work. Just the essays for Bluestocking, City of Troy, Kyprios & Porta Fortuna to go before resuming work on the Introduction. #HorseRacing #RacingSky #BestRacehorsesOf2024 #BR24 🐎
