Davy Russell
About this listen
'Davy Russell's story has been the most fascinating of racing journeys, Donn McClean its classiest chronicler. It makes a National winning combination' - Brough Scott
'Davy Russell is one of the most interesting characters in racing and one of the most successful National Hunt riders of our time. This is a superb book, one of the best sports books I've read' - Eamon Dunphy
From Davy Russell's early life in Youghal to his winning ride on Tiger Roll in the 2018 Grand National, this book has it all. Capturing the highs of an incredible career as a top jockey, from the adrenaline rush of winning the Grand National twice, the Cheltenham Gold Cup and the Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris, it also dwells on the devastating blows that Davy experienced through injury and shows his huge resilience and strength of character.
In the book, Davy tells of his years on the point-to-point scene, his big move to England and his first Cheltenham victory in 2006, his experiences at Michael O'Leary's Gigginstown Stud as the number one rider, working with Gordon Elliot, his charity work with Hurling for Cancer Research, and his retirement.
It is a truly remarkable journey written by the most entertaining jockey in the business.©2024 Davy Russell, Donn McClean (P)2024 Bonnier Books UK

The story of Davy
Davys heart went into the story. His honesty was both heart wrenching and funny. Told like you were sitting beside him having a chat. Really enjoyed it and loved that Davy narrated it himself.

down to earth story ..
good solid story telling. some high points were the big wins, the relationship with Gigginstown, the down to earth narration by the author.
opening chapters were a bit slow, lacking in tension. As someone with little knowledge of the sport of racing wd have liked a bit more insight to the racing industry, tactics, technical terms explained, what the other big personalities were really like,
