Product Description
Author - Michael Tanner - Publisher - Highdown
Greyhound Mick the Miller was a celebrity during the grim Depression years of the 1920s and 1930s when two million were unemployed and the country yearned for something to brighten its daily routine.
Bred by a gambling-mad priest, Mick emerged from the backwoods of Ireland to sweep all before him.
As a youngster he survived a killer disease to win Derbies and break records at will; as a veteran he fought back from injury to bow out before 70,000 adoring fans with victory in the St Leger over a distance considered inappropriate for an ageing greyhound.
A fascinating tale.
