Champion tipster Tony Stafford takes an informed look at the world of horse racing. He distils a lifetime of experience and observation into practical advice as to how to get the most from the sport, whether at home or at the track. He explains how to evaluate the form of horses, what to look for in the conformation of the horse, which courses offer the best (and worst) facilities, when it is best to bet on the tote rather than with a bookie and where to look for value. The book also contains many anecdotes about the colourful characters who people racing - from owners, trainers and jockeys to punters, stewards and bookmakers. It is for anyone interested in racing who wants their knowledge augmented with useful tips.

<p>The jockey Lester Piggott looks back on a career at the top which is unparalleled in both achievement and longevity. It is the story of an extraordinary riding record that made him a household name, and also of his life out of the saddle. He gives his views on the great horses he has ridden, the great races he has won and his often turbulent relationship with the sport's authorities. He also assesses the outstanding performers from four generations of jockeys against whom he has competed, and analyzes his partnership with outstanding trainers. Among aspects of his private life which are covered in the book are his deafness and the humiliation of his trial and conviction for tax fraud, which led to a term of imprisonment.</p>
