Freud On Course
Ref: RFFOC
The Racing Lives of Clement Freud. Sir Clement Freud was a man of many parts, but his devotion to racing and betting was lifelong and unwavering. He owned several racehorses, one of whom was named Weareagrandmother after Margaret Thatcher's announcement of the birth of her first grandchild. He also rode in several races: 'Why did they dope-test the horse, I wondered, when it was I who was up to the gills with amphetamines and diuretics in order to make under 12 stone, which God had never intended as my weight.' He was a fearless punter, winning a fortune after backing himself to win the 1973 Ely by-election at 33-1. He also visited racecourses all over the world. And his racing journalism was characterised by a wit and understanding unmatched by any other writer. This book (which includes a healthy serving of the jokes which formed such a popular part of his weekly Racing Post columns) brings together the very best of Freud on racing – which is, in effect, the very best of Clement Freud.

Kieren Fallon: The Biography
Ref: RFKF
Andrew Longmore. Kieren Fallon is the most successful Flat jockey of the modern era. Yet controversy is never far away. He was charged with conspiracy to defraud in July 2006, a charge he strenuously denied. In December 2007 he was cleared, but a day later it was revealed that he had again failed a drugs test while riding in France. But there is a different side to Fallon, a man who never got on a racehorse until he was almost 18 and yet quickly developed a natural rapport with his horses that makes them respond to him like no other jockey. Six times Champion Jockey, a seventh title was taken from his grasp when he had an horrific, career-threatening fall in June 2000. He has won 15 Classics, including the Derby three times. Hardback

Of Horses and Heroes
Ref: RFOHH
Brough Scott’s sixty-year love affair with horses and with racing began in 1948 at the Isle of Wight point-to-point, where the brook on the landing side of the final fence was supplemented with liquid waste from the gents’ urinal. But that point-to-point was also where a horse named Black 47 got hopelessly tailed off yet still won – and in the process ignited the flame which set a five-year-old spectator on the way to becoming first a professional jockey, and then one of the leading journalists and broadcasters of his generation. From humble Black 47 to household name Denman, the horses who formed the landmarks along that sixty-year journey are all here: the fabled Warrior, on whom in 1918 Brough’s grandfather led one of the last great cavalry charges in history; equine immortals Arkle, Mill Reef, Red Rum, Dancing Brave and Desert Orchid; and in the new millennium Best Mate, Motivator – whose Derby-winning year in 2005 was chronicled at close quarters through the special privilege of a backstage pass – and Denman himself. Alongside the horses are the heroes – jockeys like Lester Piggott, Steve Cauthen and Tony McCoy and trainers Vincent O’Brien and Charlie Whittingham – who have made racing such a richly woven tapestry for those sixty years, and incisive reports filed from the saddle at such diverse training academies as Sue and Harvey Smith’s yard on the windswept moors above Bingley and the manicured magnificence of Aidan O’Brien’s Ballydoyle. Frontline experience gives Brough Scott’s chronicle of the world of horse racing its distinctive edge, and Of Horses and Heroes its unique perspective. For anyone who loves horses and horsemen, this is an irresistible book.

Riding the Storm: My Autobiography
Ref: RFRTS
Timmy Murphy with Donn McClean. On 5 April 2008, Timmy Murphy won the Grand National, the world’s most famous steeplechase, on the David Pipe-trained horse Comply Or Die. In this revised and updated edition of his acclaimed autobiography Riding the Storm, Murphy tells the story of a young man who pursued his dream and fulfilled it. Blessed with a rare talent for riding horses, he stumbled his way towards the very top of his profession. However, on 23 July 2002, it looked all over for him when the cell door closed behind him at Wormwood Scrubs. The years spent slowly, painstakingly, carving out a career as a Jumps jockey had all been for nothing. All blown away in one moment of alcohol-induced madness. His account of his time inside is frighteningly stark – the regrets, the shame, the fear, the appreciation of liberty. He tells of starting all over again with his reputation in tatters and nothing but his extraordinary talent intact. And he tells of the remarkable chain of events that led to him landing one of the top jobs in National Hunt racing, culminating in his convincing victory in the Grand National. Paperback

Turn Me On Guv:Tails from the Racecourse

Marcus Armytage. Horseracing, it is often said, is inaccessible to outsiders because it has become much more than which horse is the fastest from A to B. Over the centuries it has developed into a huge industry with language of its’ own and a complicated set of rules, both social and regulatory, which can often seem incomprehensible to anyone who is not an insider or a regular..
