Reviews

'Haven't read any horse racing novels as good since "Seabiscuit" and Dick Francis novels. Didn't slow once started, built slow but sure. Likable characters and edited well.''I'm not going to give anything away here. I particularly enjoyed the book because I am Australian and this is set in my birth place of Victoria, so it was nice to be able to connect with it. Most books are set in the US, so this was a treat for me. I am not a gambler or race follower, so the topic itself did not appeal to me, but I really enjoyed the book. It was a good read and what more can you ask of a book?'
