During John Francome's final season in 1985, a film was made of his daily routine, schooling, booking rides and travelling to the races with candid opinions from the late great Fred Winter, this is a fascinating and insightful portrait of the life of 'The Greatest Jockey' as John McCririck dubbed him and in many ways he was. At the time of his retirement he had shattered existing records for a leading NH rider, but those achievements in numbers paled into insignificance with the coming of a certain AP McCoy 20 years later, but I think it highly questionable that McCoy was ever to be able to measure up to Francome in sheer talent and ability. I think McCririck may have been right he is 'The Greatest'
