Charlie Swan has twice been leading jockey at the Cheltenham Festival, and he has a string of big race victories to his credit including the Queen Mother Champion Chase, the Irish Grand National, two Whitbread Gold Cups, and the Irish Champion Hurdle. This book relates how Swan had to struggle in his early years as an apprentice, and the terrible physical toll taken by his repeatedly broken arms. Telling the life story of a brave and brilliant jockey, the book also reveals the aims and ambitions of the trainers with whom Swan has been most closely associated, as well as their setbacks and disappointments.
