Call to the Post: Johnny Longden’S Glories and Goofs
()
About this ebook
JOHNNY LONGDEN was the worlds winningest jockey for fourteen years. In his 40 years of riding, the JACQUES STABLE was the only one that Johnny ever signed a jockey contract with.
From coalmine rags, as a grease monkey, Johnny went on to become one of the worlds richest athletes.
His many glories such as: winning the Triple Crown; being the only person to train as well as ride a Kentucky Derby winner; and riding a stakes winner in his final CALL TO THE POST.
He also made some goofs that consisted of: needlessly cutting down horses; pulling an ace horse; and financially arranging for a bookie and an American to claim my dads aging champion racehorse.
This NEW RELEASE is a TRUE STORY and GOOD READING about a HALL OF FAMER who was ENGLISH BORN, CANADIAN RAISED to become an AMERICAN CITIZEN.
Leo Louis Jacques
The Jacques family nearly “bought the farm” and each member suffers a perilous experience, in the country Winston Churchill called, “The Pearl of Africa.” The author is loaned to Amin, to train African Indigenous to take over enterprises, run by East Indian owners. Amin short-circuits the process, by accusing the Asians of “wealth-hoarding,” “backscratching,” and “money-changing” ways for their Swiss Bank accounts, resulting in sabotaging all Uganda’s businesses. Idi robs, and then expels, all East Indians and Pakistanis, from Uganda.
