Updated paperback edition of the racing book of 2013. For more than
four decades the elegant, slightly foppish figure of trainer Henry
Cecil had been adulated by racing fans. He handled countless top
horses - his 25 English Classics include four Derby winners - and
won dozens of big races around the world. But his story is far from
a chronicle of unbroken success. A sharp downturn in his racing
fortunes in the late 1990s was accompanied by all manner of
personal trials, including well publicised marital problems and
then cancer, but the dogged manner in which he has climbed back to
the top was rewarded in 2011 by the presence in his Newmarket yard
of the wonder horse Frankel. Based on extensive research and
interviews with those closest to Cecil, it is shot through with
Brough Scott's unparalleled inside knowledge of the sport. Winner
of the Horse Racing Book of the Year at the 2014 British Sports
Book Awards.
