Another classic for every racing library. It ranks right up there with George Lambton's Men And Horses I Have Known and is the latter-day equivalent, more or less taking up where Lambton left off, in fact. A similar easygoing style, the same personal introductions to some of the finest people and horses of the Turf, spanning several golden eras.
I last met Sir Peter at Longchamp. He was 92 and had driven his sports car over from London, as usual, and complained of getting a speeding ticket from the French police! So many years earlier, when I was still at school, he had sent me a package of goodies relating to Be Friendly and Brigadier Gerard. Such a kind and approachable man, generous with his time and knowledge. Still alive and well in sharing his memories and life in this wonderful book.

Easily as erudite as his commentaries, this is a wonderfully written autobiography of a life every horse racing fan would have lived to have led.
