From his early days in New Zealand when he won the title of "Apprentice of the Year" on consecutive years, Bruce Compton was always going to be a high-flying jockey. He eventually won The New Zealand Cup, the Wellington Cup, the Doncaster and many others in Australia and NZ with multiple rides in the Melbourne Cup, as well as satisfying his urge to travel by riding in Mauritius, India, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand winning over $18 Million dollars in prize money for his trainers and owners. He retired recently to own and run with Marina, his wife, the Sherwood Estates Winery, a beautiful grape-growing site in the Macleay Valley and a popular restaurant and location for weddings. This book is under development with Michael Davies.
