Graham Bradley has been one of National Hunt racing's most successfull jockeys since the 1980s, winning top prizes (Gold Cup, Champion Hurdle, King George VI victories) on top horses (Desert Orchid, Suny Bay, Wayward Lad) from top trainers (Michael Dickinson, Toby Balding). Yet, through all the good times, this Yorkshireman's career was enveloped in controversy which culminated in a dawn raid on his home by the Serious Crime Squad in January 1999. His subsequent arrest for alleged race fixing and a Jockey Club ban made front page news. Later cleared of all charges and reinstated, many questions remain unanswered - until now. This personal account given in Brad's own inimitable style of a controversial and exciting life in racing.
