For more than four decades the elegant, slightly foppish figure of
trainer Henry Cecil has been adulated by racing fans. He has
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", and shot
through with Brough Scott's unparalleled inside knowledge of the
sport, this will be the racing book not only of the year, but of
the decade.
