Having been a jockey since 1953, Roy Higgins knows most of the tall, and short, stories from the tracks. In a sport renowned for its colourful characters there a myriad of funny stories, from the lady trying to back the favourite, Quadrella, to the fast talking jockey who gets left at the barrier. But it is not only jockeys and racegoers who provide the laughter, owners trainers, bookmakers, racing writers and commentators, stewards, vets and committee men all figure prominently in many of the anecdotes. Anyone who has ever bet on a horse will enjoy this humorous and affectionate salute to the racing game by one of its best known identities. Illustrated by Vane Lindesay
