Cancer of the pancreas remains one of the most resolute forms of the pervasive illness, and Pat Smullen's struggle continues. This toughest of all setbacks brought an abrupt end to a brilliant career that yielded nine jockeys' championships, 12 European Classics, eight Royal Ascot winners and more than 1,900 winners worldwide. Donn McClean helps tell his story, how a farm labourer's son made it to the top of the Sport of Kings and how he has coped with the hammer blow that brought him and his family right back down to earth. Smullen's time in the saddle spanned 26 years, winning millions in prize-money. Out of the saddle he has raised millions for cancer charities. He has brought the racing world together, explemplifying the esteem in which he is justifiably held. He is an inspirational figure and Pat Smullen's autobiography will induce every emotion.
