An interestingly wayward memoir, exploring […] the vibrant mixture
of equine beauty and human ugliness to be found on the
racetrack
*Evening Standard*
A great father-son memoir, and a good book about horses, too
*Scotsman*
You needn’t love horses to find this idiosyncratic memoir a joy
*Lady*
This is desperately sad, life-affirming and just about wonderful.
It is the book every father would want his son to write about
him
*Irish Times*
As a memoir, an elegy and a piece of investigative journalism, it
dazzles
*The Economist*
