On coming down from Oxford he was happy to accept an ideal job looking after the estates, and more particularly the horses, of Ted Bonnamy, who had a score of hunters, a salmon reach on the Dee, a grouse moor and - a lovely young wife. It was a pleasant prelude to a more dramatic turn of fortune's wheel which was to bring Rip dazzling success as a steeplechase jockey and then to a disaster which for a time wrecked his life. His regeneration and subsequent change of fortune both on the Turf and in the hazards of love a related by a writer who is inimitable in recreating the authentic atmosphere of the racing world.
