Horse Racing book - Monksfield by Jonathan Powell
Hardback with dust cover, 224 pages with foreword by Brough Scott. Illustrated with black and white photographs. The story of the diminutive Irish Champion hurdler Monksfield, a real rags to riches adventure from his 740 guineas original purchase price to his sensational second Champion hurdle triumph at Cheltenham. The love, persistence and unconventional training methods of trainer Des McDonagh, the belief of his owner Michael Mangan and the indomitable spirit of the horse make this book a very inspiring read.
