Sinopsis:
The definitive autobiography from Kieren Fallon, one of the world’s greatest and most controversial horseracing jockeys.
A six-time British Champion Jockey, Kieran Fallon was one of the best jockeys, winning more than 2,250 races, including the UK’s Derby three times, the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe twice, and more 2000 and 1000 Guineas than anyone else in the history of the sport—but his career was littered with controversial incidents. He was accused of race fixing, resulting in an astonishing Old Bailey trial at which he was completely cleared.
No one would question his ability in the saddle. Few, if any, have ever been as good at coaxing the best out of their rides. But his extraordinary rapport with horses didn’t quite extend to his dealings with people—particularly with those in authority.
Now Fallon recalls his rise from a rural Irish family with no racing connections, and his frequent collisions with the media and many of the people who run the sport. He reveals the huge pressures on top jockeys and how his dazzling riding career was marred, then brought to a premature halt by campaigns of lies and innuendo.
Full of wit and humor, Form is a powerful, honest sporting memoir and a unique behind-the-scenes look at the horseracing industry.
Acerca del autor: Kieren Fallon was born in County Clare in Ireland in 1965, and went on to become one of flat racing's most successful jockeys of all time. He was Champion Jockey six six times between 1997 and 2003, winning more than 2250 races. Among his greatest achievements was winning the Derby three times and the Arc de Triomphe twice.

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 1st Edition. As a jockey, Kieren Fallon had a unique rapport with his horses, often coaxing them to victory when others had struggled. His skill and commitment made him a punter's favourite. His magnificent record, which saw him crowned Champion Jockey six times, ensured he became one of racing's biggest stars. This book provides a searingly honest account of his life, and the pressures he faced to get to the top of his sport, where winning was never enough, and where relaxation came in the shape of a bottle of vodka or a meal that had to be flipped immediately to ensure he maintained his weight. He worked with some of the best trainers and won all the the biggest races, but true happiness only ever came to him when he was on the back of a horse. A joy that he still feels now that he has retired from racing as he rides work early in the morning. A black hardback book, with big bold gilt title lettering running along the spine. The book is signed by the author, Kieren Fallon, on the first page, please see image. The book is in super good condition, comes with dust jacket. Normal wear and marks apply consistent with use and age. 312 pages, all intact, all pages, text and illustrations are in fabulous, clean, readable order. An intriguing and fascinating read, that helps the reader to understand the relationship between man and horse and what it took for him, to become a champion jockey. Signed by Author(s).
