Description
The riveting full-career autobiography of Barry Geraghty, one of the most successful jump jockeys in the sport's history. Now retired, Geraghty takes his rightful place in the pantheon of greats that inclues AP McCoy, Richard Johnson and Ruby Walsh.
An intelligent and often beautifully observed book
True Colours is a frank, unfiltered tale of a racing icon. After reading the book, you appreciate the lengths Geraghty went to in pursuit of success. Readers are given incredible access to his life and it is a must-read about a career which never dropped out of top gear.
I can't recommend this insightful autobiography enough
