In preparing the information for British Racing and Racecourses, she visited 60 of the 62 courses dealt with in the book, (the odd ones were Ayr and Perth) and used a lot of the information she gleaned as a horsewoman and racehorse owner.[4] She knew from personal experience that horses with low numbers in the draw are at a considerable disadvantage at Edinburgh. One of the highlights while she was an owner came on this course when her horse Calm Palm, was drawn on the inside and although he was badly bumped by the other horses on the courses slight elbow, he valiantly came from behind to finish second.[4] She was in the mid-1980s still involved with Racehorses and a project helping ordinary people to become involved in the sport of Kings.[2] She is married to the British military historian Bruce Barrymore Halpenny. They have a son, commercial artist and writer, Baron Barrymore Halpenny. External links
