Far From a Gentleman
By John Hislop

The racing recollections of the best gentleman rider of the inter-war period, Far From A Gentleman includes many amusing anecdotes of the characters and horses of that more leisurely time.

The companion volume, Anything But A Soldier, details John’s experiences in Word War II when he served behind the lines in Phantom, an offshoot of the SAS.

John went on to breed Brigadier Gerard, one of the best, if not the best, of the colts that have raced in Europe since World War II.
