Blurb on the back reads

He rode his first winner at the age of 10 in borrowed silks and boots, and went on to win over 1000 races in Australia, England, and France. He created history by winning the Epsom and Derby Double at Randwick, but then plunged into a series of controversial and personal dramas that dominated his career. 

Darby holds nothing back, sharing the rags to riches to rags story of a champion who battled the odds to stay in the winning circle, and struggled to find his true identity in the midst of a whirlwind of women, affairs, suicide and breakdowns.
