Following The Star is a compelling ten-year journey through the highs
and lows in the life of a racing fan entwined with the exploits of Kauto
Star, one of National Hunt Racing's stars who was compared to the great
Arkle. Andrew Walker's book, Following the Star, is a rollercoaster of
emotion with Kauto Star as the central figure. This book will appeal to
racing supporter, sports fan and general public alike, since it paints a
delightful picture of almost a decade of life-changing experiences:
children being born, moving house, the 2012 Olympic Games - and the ups
and downs on the racecourse that come from following a racing legend.
Andrew Walker was born in 1956. He is married to Fiona and has two sons,

Hunt Racing stems from his Irish background and he is a frequent visitor
