About this title

Synopsis

The author of this book of racing anecdotes is well known to readers of the "Daily Express" where he was racing correspondent for many years. He recounts his experiences as a greyhound and racehorse owner, as well as his time as a journalist.

Review

...the literary equivalent of his commentating voice, which many of us can still hear as the soundtrack to our love of racing. The book, like his performances with microphone in hand, is mellifluous, funny, revealing and warm, much like the man. (Daily Telegraph)
