Description
Inexpensively bred, trained in deepest Devon (far from Newmarket's rolling acres and the traditional racing spotlight) and owned not by a sheikh nor a multimillionaire but by the owner of an office furniture company, Sergeant Cecil transcended his humble origins to carve his name in the history books and become one of the best-loved Flat horses of the last 50 years. In 2005, he was voted the Racehorse Owners' Association's Horse of the Year, and was nominated again in 2006. Extensively and lavishly illustrated, the official story of Sergeant Cecil is an uplifting and empowering one, illustrating that even in the high-octane, high-finance world of twenty-first century horseracing, there is still plenty of room for fairytales to come true.
