This title is an illustrated story of Best Mate, three times winner of the Cheltenham Gold Cup, and the best-loved horse since Desert Orchid.

Best Mate, by winning three successive Cheltenham Gold Cups between 2002 and 2004, emulated the achievement of the legendary Arkle and secured his place in racing history. With jockey Jim Culloty and trainer Henrietta Knight he has formed an irresistible partnership that has been taken to the hearts of not just the racing public but the nation as a whole. Anne Holland weaves a fascinating story about how Best Mate left behind the fields of County Meath to come to Henrietta Knight's stables at Lockinge where she and husband Terry Biddlecombe have trained him to so many famous triumphs. Now all that remains is the pursuit of a fourth Gold Cup - with a huge crowd willing him on to another victory.

Having owned, trained and ridden many winners in the amateur ranks, Anne Holland understands intimately the heartbreaks, the hopes and the thrills found in this heroic sport. She is author of numerous books on horseracing and lives blissfully in rural Ireland where she rides former steeplechaser Bradbury Star, hunts as much as possible, enjoys going racing and breeds NH horses.
