The autobiography of Dick Francis, author of a dozen and more best-selling mystery novels, all of which have a horseracing background. "Every steeple chase jockey has two ambitions, one is to ride more winners than anyone else in one season and become Champion Jockey for that year. The other is to win the Grand National at Aintree. This is the story of how with great good fortune I achieved the first, and came so heartbreakingly close to the second." - Dick Francis

- Horse racing in England is a dangerous and exciting sport - but not nearly as thrilling as the work and life of Dick Francis
