Best Mate

When Best Mate raced up the hill at Cheltenham in March 2004 to his third successive Gold Cup victory, he made history and became the most famous racehorse in Britain and Ireland. His trainer, Henrietta Knight, also became a superstar, her gentle yet determined personality endearing her to the sporting public. This is the first paperback edition of Henrietta's already-bestselling book about the horse, his achievements and the personalities involved in them. Three brand new chapters and new photographs bring the story right up to date as Best Mate starts the new season and his quest for a fourth Gold Cup.
