The story of Desert Orchid, currently Britain's favourite racehorse, told from the inside - by his owner. Where he was born, how he was bought, the start of his racing career, his successes, his decision to retire - as well as a complete racing history.

Part 1 At the start: the stuff that dreams are made of; useless?; partners; the wizard of Whitsbury; a baptism of fire; a boult from the blue. Part 2 Gathering speed: a cloud of dust; coughing up; trapped nerves; the crash of birch; a bad dream; the shadow of death; going home. Part 3 Hitting the front: dreams of glory; king for a day; staying on; spoiling for a fight; a chapter closes; dog days. Part 4 At full stretch: unbeatable; a day at the races; over the top; the price of success; a national debate; the show goes on. Part 5 Turning for home: a long hot summer; business as usual; a sense of loss; the dying of the light; the last lap; a new life; appendices.
