Description

The Life of Fred Archer by E.M. Humphris is a biography of England's most famous jockey. Written with great pleasure by someone who knew him well, this book tells the story of five Derby wins, including a remarkable victory in 1877 where Archer rode Silvio to success despite being heavily handicapped. Archer's victories were not limited to the Derbys; he also won at Epson in 1880, riding Bend Or in a most impressive race. Despite suffering injuries and setbacks, Archer's judgement and skill as a jockey remained unmatched. This biography offers a unique insight into the life of one of England's greatest racing figures, and is now available in an affordable, high-quality edition.
