Dudley Doust has lived through the season with Scudamore - through big wins, the desperate finishes, the disappointments, controversies, injuries and triumphs. And more than this, he has interviewed a host of racing characters, owners, trainers, officials and other jockeys, even the man who makes Scudamore's boots, to put together a kaleidoscopic portrait of the winter games and its memorable races. Dudley Doust also wrote "The Ashes Retained", "Seve: The Young Champion" and "Botham".
