"This is a most entertaining and true story of a great horse." writes Miss Pat Smythe in her Foreword to this book. As a team Brigadier Blacker and Workboy represented Great Britain in Spain and Portugal and won the Imperial Cup at the White City in 1959. In 1960 they were second in both the Imperial Cup and the King George V Gold Cup. But before he rose to the top as a show jumper Workboy was one of the finest two mile steeple-chasers in the country - being placed twenty-nine out of the forty-six races in which he ran. Brigadier Blacker is as versatile as his mount: he has been an international athlete, a leading amateur jockey, Military Assistant to the C.I.G.S. and now an author describing Workboy's battles, victories and disasters. An enthralling read.
