For BBC TV viewers he was The Voice of Racing as his distinctive tones formed part of the folk memory of the sport's greatest occasions - Nijinsky's Derby, Red Rum's Grand Nationals, Dawn Run and Desert Orchid's Gold Cups....... Now the multi-award-winning Sir Peter pays tribute to the heroes - equine and human - who have enriched his racing life: Lester Piggot; Gordon Richards; Fred Winter; Rae Johnstone; Scobie Breasley; Vincent O'Brien; Paddy Prendergast; Alec Head; Arkle; Sea Bird II; Be Friendly; Attivo; In this beautifully illustrated book, one racing hero pays affectionate homage to twelve heroes of his own, in his own elegant prose.
