Controversy and Graham Bradley have ridden side by side throughout his 23 year career as one of the most charismatic jump jockeys that Britain has ever seen.As he fought his way from a council estate in West Yorkshire to ride for the finest stables in Britain and Ireland he made headlines - and not always for the right reasons.When most jump jockeys were getting up to ride work in the early morning,Brad was often just coming home from a night out.Elegant on and off horseback as he scooped the glittering prizes,this is his story told his way.He talks candidly about his life as one of the great jump jockeys and takes you into a world where triumph and disaster are separated by only a hoof beat.'The Wayward Lad' allows you to meet the heroes and villains in a sport where fortunes are won and lost amidst temptations and allegations of corruption.This is an emotional rollercoastre that moves at a gallop with big race wins interwoven with a dawn raid by the Serious Crime Squad and a harrowing period under suspicion. Friendships are tested to the full as Brad's life is splashed over the papers.He's down but not quite out.
