About this product

Product Information

Paperback edition of the highly-acclaimed biography of sporting icon Mick the Miller, the best known and best loved dog in British history. Mick's story amounts to a fairy tale. Bred by a gambling-mad priest, Mick emerged from the backwoods of Ireland to sweep all before him. As a youngster he survives a killer disease to win Derbies and break records at will; as a veteran he fights back from injury to bow out before 70,000 adoring fans with victory in the St Leger over a distance considered inappropriate for an ageing greyhound. Mick was a freak of nature. He won by cunning and brainpower more than raw speed. In retirement he capitalises upon this intelligence and becomes a role model for Red Rum and Desert Orchid by earning a living on the celebrity circuit, even meeting the King and Queen. But Mick goes one better, starring in his own feature film - which he steals from the 'real' actors.
