The official biography of the most successful horse-racing trainer of all time, written by the woman who knows him best!
Jacqueline O'Brien is married to Vincent O'Brien and lived in
Ireland at Ballydoyle for over fifty years. She is an honours
graduate of the University of Western Australia and the Open
University, co-author and photographer of Great Irish Houses and
Castles and Dublin, a Grand Tour, and photographer of Ancient
Ireland. She is co-author of Vincent O'Brien's Great Horses. All
her four books were number one bestsellers.
Ivor Herbert has written twenty-three books, of which fourteen have
been about horses and racing, including the continuing bestsellers
Red Rum and Arkle. He trained racehorses himself, with some
success, winning the Gold Cup in 1957, the youngest Englishman to
do so since the Second World War (though Vincent was younger by a
year when Cottage Rake won in 1948). Ivor has been a friend of the
O'Brien family for over thirty years.
' ... A major contender for the best racing book I have read.
*Daily Telegraph*
The length and variety of Vincent O'Brien's achievements testify to
his status as the master horseman of his age, and this definitive
work is the biography that he deserves.
