Winner: My Racing Life by Ap Mccoy
The definitive autobiography by A.P. McCoy, the most successful jump-jockey of all time.
'A careful and unfailingly generous memoir, with friends honoured, employers respected, opponents admired and family at the centre of everythingBut, mainly, it is the story of winning, of talent allied to absolute single-mindedness, of a will to win that could power a small town' -- Steven Gerrard * Daily Mail *
'This is a fast-paced read that gallops along breathlessly from record to record, horse to horse. It starts close to the finish - two hurdles from home aboard Box Office at Sandown - and you are gripped from that moment on' * Racing Post *
'He comes across as a complex character - honest about himself, sometimes emotional, always single-minded and determined, brave and, finally, grounded. This is a lovely book about an extraordinary jockey and a special person' * Horse and Countryside magazine *
