Description

Former racehorse trainer Charlie Brooks takes the lid off the racing world to provide a candid commentary on the state of the industry today. He talks openly about: who is really winning and losing in a sport riven by factional interests; what owners, trainers, jockeys and bookmakers are up to; and what is going on behind closed stable doors.

Once trainer of Suny Bay - one of the greatest steeplechasers in the country - and now a newspaper and TV pundit, Charlie Brooks is ideally placed to give an informed and honest view of the weird and wonderful world of racing.

Reviews

Witty, informative, controversial and above all, entertaining. There are times when you will laugh out loud - Sunday Times

Highly entertaining ... Candid and honest - Horse and Hound

Charlie Brooks single-handedly made racehorse training sexy' - Tatler

A good, serious, at times self-critical read - Guardian
