The two-mile steeplechaser is the most exciting equine athlete on the planet. Half a ton of horse set to carry a rider over twelve 5ft fences at almost 40mph. Moscow Flyer, twice winner of Cheltenham's Champion Chase, is the most exciting of them all. Moscow Flyer: Flying to Success is much more than just the portrait of the greatest Irish jumper since the legendary Arkle. Jesse Harrington's account of the horse's journey from a small farm in Limerick to the Cheltenham winner's enclosure pulls together a cast of characters and a chain of circumstance which become a living metaphor for current Irish life.

Jesse Harrington is the Queen of the Irish horse world. As well as being one of her country's leading racehorse trainers, she has represented Ireland in three-day eventing at the Olympics and World Championships.
