'Obssessed' is the story of a jump jockey and his compulsion to be the best.To be that,he put himself through hell.The rewards came.At 22,he was the youngest jockey in the 1986 Grand National,coolly guiding West Tip to victory.There were other great horses,like Desert Orchid, as the stream of winners kept on flowing.But greater than titles and victories was the recognition from those he rode against.
