@BohemiaStable @CarrAuthor @Waterstones It’ll be worth the wait. You’ll enjoy it very much. It’s that perfect combination of seriously detailed historical research and a tale very entertainingly told.

It's always such a pleasure to learn that readers enjoy Our Honest Charlie Wood - the life story of an exceptional jockey the Jockey Club tried to destroy. Thank you @JohnWathenBerry 💕 https://t.co/eqersJYH0c

What do we know of Charles Wood? Won all the Classics? Champion Jockey 1887? Rider of St Simon? That��s only fraction of story. His biography, superbly researched & written by @CarrAuthor, tells the fascinating tale brilliantly. Xmas coming - a great book to read, give or receive.

@RadioHumberside @bbcburnsy Shocking and cruel. How could you do this to such a warm and generous broadcaster.

[John Crace @JohnJCrace]

Sweet moment. It’s Boris insistence on the taxpayer footing his legal bills that has led to his being reported to police

@JohnWathenBerry it was lovely to meet you and see your yard! I messaged Tod Ramos about your father “Ah yes! “A convivial extrovert” were the words I think he used to describe me 🤣 he was a wonderful man with a love of art and racing… what more could we want !” @wild_julian

[Josephine Carr Author @CarrAuthor]

Lovely morning at Machell Place with @kpfracing . The yard still looks just like it did when Charles Wood built it in 1884 - and they have named their syndicate The Runaway Boy Club after Charlie. Wonderful ❤️ I hope they enjoy the book!

[Josephine Carr Author @CarrAuthor]

Hoping @kpfracing will enjoy the copy of Our Honest Charlie Wood I’m taking round this morning to Machell Place - the state of the art yard Charles Wood built in the 1880s. It caused quite a stir at the Jockey Club as they watched him spend so much money!

[Josephine Carr Author @CarrAuthor]

@wild_julian @JohnWathenBerry @BathRacecourse She is a lovely mare ❤️. Her day will come. Looking forward to meeting her today @JohnWathenBerry

[Josephine Carr Author @CarrAuthor]

We had a wonderful time celebrating Charles Wood with @bbcburnsy @wild_julian at @Beverley_Races. Now in Newmarket showing his family where Charles was apprenticed (now @bedfordlodge hotel) and Machells Place, the state of the art yard he built in the 1880s.

[David Burns @bbcburnsy]

Lovely afternoon @Beverley_Races in memory of #Hull 's fogotten Derby and Triple Crown-winning jockey Charlie Wood.

Thanks to @CarrAuthor for the invite , sorry I lost you, but I was losing my shirt.

Great to meet Charlie's relative Ian.

Ta to @wild_julian for the intro.

[Josephine Carr Author @CarrAuthor]

@CollingsBerry @BathRacecourse Good luck!
