Summary: Barry Geraghty is one of the greatest jockeys of all time. Covered in scars, he has broken his back three times, all his limbs, his shoulders, his ribs and his nose, and acquired over 70 stitches to his face. He has survived falls too numerous to recall. And yet, he kept getting back on the horse. Brilliantly capturing the irreplaceable buzz and adrenaline of life as a jockey, True colours recalls the highs and lows of being at the top in a notoriously high-stakes industry. It is a memoir about resilience, the mental power that enables the great to keep going despite the pain, despite the odds, and how self-belief and putting everything into something you're passionate about can make dreams happen. Book cover.
