Charlie Brooks is a former trainer, now author/columnist, who has had a colourful life in & out of racing. Charlie was assistant to the legendary Fred Winter, before taking over the license in 1989 following Winter's accident. He trained the great Suny Bay to win the Hennessy as well as two agonising second place finishes in the Grand National. After quitting the training ranks, Charlie has focused on writing with long-running columns in the Telegraph & Spectator. More recently, he's written a series of children's books with his next, 'Sammy and the Gold Heist', scheduled for release in January 2027. In a candid interview Charlie tells us about his extraordinary life, including his two high-profile arrests.
