About This Item
Sixteen years have elaped (then 1984) since Scobie Breasley,a hero to many racing enthusiasts,put away his size-four riding boots for the last time,yet mention of his name still evokes memories of a race-riding skill unmatched today.The man who rode 3,500 winners went on to become a highly successful trainer in England,France and the USA and,later,to manage Ravi Tikoo's string of racehorses.This fascinating study of Breasley's life and career explores the man's legendary style and race-riding philosophy,his championship battles with the young Lester Piggott and the early successions of suspensions,as well as Scobie's assessments of other key racing people and events.Looking back across the wide and vivid canvas of Breasley's two great international careers,as jockey and trainer,this unique portrait reveals
the exceptional,though fallible,character behind the public figure.
The magic of Scobie Breasley appreciates rather than fades.
