Farewell to the greatest ever jockey
The latest book from Anne Holland is Stirrup Stories and Lambs’ Tales. Milo shares his gossip with Jilly Cooper. Bloodstock Notebook is worth it for Rolf Johnson's commentary on the racing year. The book is also worth reading for Lester's story. He was late to the Bunbury Cup and had to ride barefoot on a horse. Anne was one of the first women to be granted a licence to riding under National Hunt rules after the Sex Discrimination Act in 1975. She won a race on Tarkaotter at Badbury Rings after being run away with before the start.
