Books by Tim Fitzgeorge-Parker

As a cavalry officer in the Royal Scots Greys, Tim Fitzgeorge-Parker has a distinguished military career, attaining the rank of Major and being awarded the Military Cross. On returning to civilian life, he continued his association with horses, race-riding as an amateur and becoming the last assistant to the late Atty Persse, whose great training career spanned five decades. After a period of training successfully in his own right, Tim Fitzgeorge-Parker became a racing journalist and author. His books include a series which studies the careers of eminent jockeys and trainers - Flat Race Jockeys: The Great Ones, Steeplechase Jockeys: The Great Ones and Great Racehorse Trainers and biographies of some of the foremost racing figures of recent times; Sir Noel Murless, Bruce Hobbs, Neville Crump and Brigadier 'Roscoe' Harvey. His most recent work The Ditch on the Hill explores the eighty year history of the Cheltenham Festival.
