Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Frankie Dettori is certainly one of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries' truly great international jockeys. Italian by birth he rode his first winner there we have been lucky in England that he came to live in Newmarket aged fifteen and has ridden mainly here. A great and popular figure, quietly and privately he has done much for disabled people. In fact, he is a good example by any standards of a superb sportsman on and off the racecourse. Perhaps most famous for riding all seven winners at Ascot on 28 September 1996, his record in the English classics over 30 years gives a true indication of his ability and dedication. There is no doubt that England's five classic races, the 1,000 and 2,000 Guineas which both run in late April/early May at Newmarket over a mile, the Oaks and Derby which run in early June at Epsom over a mile and a half, and the St Leger which runs nearly two miles in mid-September at Doncaster, are very, very important races on the international racing scene. Frankie Dettori's record in them is super 23 wins. Since 1945, he and Lester Piggott are the only jockeys to ride at least two winners of each of the classics. To put Frankie's record into perspective, Sir Gordon Richards, 26-time champion flat jockey between 1925 and 1953, rode only fourteen classic winners. This highly readable but erudite book devotes a double page spread to every winning ride, and there is a colour section of photographs of him aboard his winning mounts by the famous racing journalist John Crofts. Dettori's first classic winner was in the 1994 Oaks at Epsom on Balanchine and his last in 2023, once again in the Oaks, on Soul Sister. This book is a superb record of greatness in the saddle over 30 years. 23 colour illustrations Frankie Dettori is certainly one of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries' truly great international jockeys. Italian by birth - he rode his first winner there - we have been lucky in England that he came to live in Newmarket aged fifteen and has ridden mainly here.

Green boards, upper board and spine titled in gilt. Slight staining to boards, spotting to edges. Good copy in used and slightly grubby dust-wrapper. "This superb volume of work by Charlie Johnson Payne, universally known as Snaffles, is both a tribute to the man who was one of the greatest military and sporting artists of his time, and a fascinating chronicle of more than fifty years of sporting, military and naval life. Drawn from many public and private collections, the paintings and drawings in the book illustrate the remarkable range of Snaffles' achievement. .Born in 1884, the fourth of a bootmaker's eight children, Snaffles developed an early passion for the services. At the age of fifteen he tried to enlist in the Army to fight in the Boer War .At eighteen he joined the Royal Garrison Artillery, .and it was the Gunners that were to be his first love for the rest of his life. He joined the Leicester Yeomanry in 1911 but was invalided out before the start of World War I and found himself instead covering the hostilities .as a war artist for The Graphic. .He enlisted in the Royal Naval Auxiliary in 1916, serving as a mechanic in the motor launches that helped to rescue crashed sea-planes in the Channel, and in the later stages of the war he was commissioned in the R.N.V.R.'s 'Dazzle' (camouflage) section." Snaffles' varied career is reflected in his work which covers those parts of the army and navy he was most familiar with, fox hunting and English rural life, as well as a great many illustrations depicting the Indian versions of those same subjects. Chapters include: The early years; The missing and struggling years; Making his mark in High Leicestershire; The Great War; The twenties and fame; India; Ireland and red letter days; A second trip to India; The Second World War; the last years. .…
