As the woman who trained the great Best Mate to win three consecutive Cheltenham Gold Cups, no one could be better qualified than Henrietta Knight to discover what makes today's top jumps trainers succeed. From eccentric, outspoken Yorkshireman Mick Easterby, to elegant, aristocratic Venetia Williams, from Irish wizard, Willie Mullins, to perfectionist champion trainer, Paul Nicholls and young pretender, Dan Skelton, here is a dazzling cast of extraordinary characters, all with their quirks and foibles, but with one single-minded ambition – finding first-class horses and training them to win big races. Henrietta shares their dramatic journeys, methods and secrets of working in a tough, competitive industry. For the trainers, every win reignites the thrill of the sport and a craving for success that never dies.©2018 Henrietta Knight (P)2018 W. F.

I thoroughly enjoyed the story but, for me, the narration was SO annoying! I’d have loved Hen to have narrated her own story, it’d have been far more enjoyable and totally authentic.

Well written and really interesting to hear about so many national hunt trainers and new methods used and how racing has progressed (or not) but told with respect and understanding. A must for anyone who follows racing and appreciates horses

fascinating insight into the training yards. A must for the enthusiast only! A little repetitive so if you're not sure then I wouldn't worry.
