Down the years, this book has become a much sought after horse racing cult classic.

 It's the story of the true life-roller coaster ride of a "Jack The Lad" window cleaner turned racehorse trainer in the 1960s.

A wild story of gambling, drugs, sex, and a scandal that rocked the racing world. 

A truly fascinating read and one of the most enjoyable and entertaining racing books we have ever read. We genuinely recommend it, if you can your hands on a copy. 

Racecourse Advisor Overall Rating: 8/10.
