4.9/5 (10711 ratings)

Description:One great stable: Manton. Four training legends: Alec Taylor, his son 'Young' Alec, Joe Lawson and George Todd. Here are their stories, from Taylors' wars with the touts to Todd's defiance of the stewards. From the 43 classic winners to Todd's selling platers.Along the way, meet some of the grand eccentrics of the English Turf: The Duchess of Montrose, who hissed a Royal Procession and hoped to marry Fred Archer; George Payne, who gambled away fortunes and tried to horsewhip a QC; and Lord Glasgow, whose hotel bill included a waiter's broken leg.Here are the men who guided Manton between the wars: Somerville Tattersall and Gerald Deane; the short-lived Lorn Manton; and Viscount Astor, whose five Oaks winners made up for five Derby seconds. Here too are the gambles, led by the Lincoln winner that paid for Manton, in cash, in a paper bag.There's a darker side. One of the Taylors stood trial for killing an apprentic. There was a time when the stable lads' every mean was bread and butter, a mug of tea, and a cut from a riding crop, and the only second helpings were from the crop.The Masters of Manton is a wide-angle view of the horses, trainers, owners, jockeys and lads who peopled the Marlborough downs between Old Alec Taylor building the yard in 1870 and George Todd's death in 1974.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
