  To hail Persian Punch as the most popular Flat racehorse on Britain is not sufficient. He has gone beyond the levels of popularity we normally associate with the money-dominated sport of Flat racing. He is a horse who has grabbed the affections of race-goers to a far greater extent than any other in the sport's recent history. Persian Punch's public standing has been built on performance of the utmost bravery, performances which have seen him snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, performances which have left normally hardened observers unable to resist anthropomorphic tributes. The Authorised Story is the ultimate tribute to this wonderful athlete. Flat racing has seen nothing like Persian Punch in years. He is a gentle giant with a positively ruthless will to win, his continued presence enriching the sport. He embodies everything that is great about the racehorse. There can be no greater compliment.
