Poise and Stride, a book of 41 short essays based on Joe Osborne's observations from business, entertainment and sport during his 40-year career, has been published by Osborne, Managing Director of Godolphin Ireland. Originally written as contributions to the Godolphin Flying Start quarterly newsletter 'Time Flies', all proceeds from the sale of this book will go to Racing Academy & Centre of Education (RACE) in Kildare Town. The academy, a registered charity, was established by Joe's father Michael Osborne in 1973 with Stan Cosgrove and Derek O'Sullivan. The forward is written by RACE graduate, former champion jockey turned trainer Johnny Murtagh, with illustrations by Declan Considine. The book is available for €20 (plus postage) by emailing RACE at poiseandstride@racingacademy.ie or by contacting their office at +353 45 522468.
“This project has been a labour of love and a welcome distraction during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Osborne. “The essays cover a diverse range of topics and I hope that the core messages in them will resonate with readers. My family has a longstanding link with RACE, so this is an opportunity to support the academy and to highlight the great work they are doing.”
