The pivotal moment in George Baker’s life was the career-ending injury he suffered in a horror fall on the White Turf at St Moritz in February 2017. From its aftermath a second life has emerged and this honest and open account of the trauma he has been through will hopefully provide inspiration to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation.

The former jockey decided to pen his story to provide closure on the accident and to ensure his young daughter, Isabella, has a record of his life as a top-class rider.
