Items related to The Man Who Rode Ampersand
The man who rode Ampersand was in fact, an amateur jockey named Harry Cotton. Harry is a compulsive gambler. The resulting decline in his fortunes takes him through three decades of adventures, melancholy, heroic, and comic by turn, which cut a broad swathe of disorder through provincial race meetings, 'one -night cheap hotels' and three luxurious redoubts of the fabulously rich. The inhabitants and frequenters of these places are every bit as bizarre as their surroundings.

Review:
"Crowded with rich and lovely scenes." -John Le Carre "He has painted with infinite bravura a picture of an amateur jockey of the last generation." -"Daily Mail
Synopsis:
Amateur jockey, Harry Cotton's transition from racing skills, champagne receptions, and above all, the sweet experience of an invitation to ride Ampersand, the legendary Gold Cup winner, to the grim world of bedsits was brought about by his unfortunate penchant for gambling.
