"Cockney Cliff Lines and his Memories of 70 Years in Horseracing
Cliff, a 14-year-old apprentice to Noel Murless, embarked on a remarkable journey in the world of horseracing, starting with little knowledge or experience. The book chronicles his life, from riding a winner for the Queen to becoming a jockey, working as a work rider/head lad for Michael Stoute, and eventually training himself. It explores the challenges he faced, including living in apprentice accommodation, dealing with bullying, navigating doping scandals, and overcoming personal health issues, including a brain tumor.
Cliff's story is filled with tales of famous horses he worked with, such as JO TOBIN, SHERGAR, and SONIC LADY, as well as the ones he nurtured in their early years, including PILSUDSKI and FUJIYAMA CREST, who were part of Frankie Dettori's Magnificent Seven. He also shares his experiences traveling with horses around the world by boat and plane, spanning from 1954 to the present day.
Despite the ups and downs of his career, Cliff holds no regrets about his lifelong involvement in Thoroughbred racing. His passion for the sport, dedication, and unwavering spirit have left an indelible mark on the industry, and his memories will be cherished by those who knew him.
This captivating story of a man's unwavering dedication to horseracing is a testament to the power of perseverance and the enduring spirit of the Thoroughbred racing community."
