One of racing's best loved families, opens up about life in the
sport. Michael Scudamore, the patriarch of a racing dynasty, rode
in 16 consecutive Grand Nationals including the 1957 renewal, which
he famously won on Oxo. Peter Scudamore was a record-breaking
eight-time Champion Jockey and now assists his partner Lucinda
Russell, with whom they trained 2017 Grand National winner, One For
Arthur. Tales from the saddle in the 50s and 60s from Michael make
remarkable reading especially interspersed with those from the 80s
and 90s from Peter. Tom Scudamore, one of the current leading
jockey's, brings experience of riding today and together with
stories from his father and grandfather, a fascinating new light is
shed on the National Hunt game. This was a unique undertaking
involving a unique family and will be a joy to read for every jumps
racing fan.
