Enemy Number One: The Secrets of the UK's Most Feared Professional Punter

This is the sensational inside story on how professional punter Patrick Veitch overcame adversity to take the bookmakers for over GBP 10 million in an eight year period. Veitch studied maths at Cambridge alongside becoming a major league punter. A comfortable life as a professional punter looked assured until his world was torn apart. He was the victim of an extortion attempt by a dangerous criminal who would subsequently be tried twice for murder and later convicted of attempted murder. Veitch was forced to flee and go into hiding, returning to Cambridge to testify in a bulletproof jacket with police protection. With his tormentor behind bars, Veitch took on the bookmakers on a greater scale than ever before. Over the following eight years, he would come to be known as the bookmakers' public enemy number one as he and his followers relieved the bookmakers of colossal sums.

Biographies & Memoirs

'At my Devon school, lessons were optional and I did not go to a lot. A friend's father took us to Buckfastleigh racecourse where there were bookmakers and tic-tac men, Tote windows and people asking each other what they knew (at school, people only told you what you did not know). I became hooked'. Sir Clement Freud was a man of many parts, but his devotion to racing and betting had been lifelong and unwavering. He owned several racehorses, one of whom was named Weareagrandmother after Margaret Thatcher's announcement of the birth of her first grandchild. As well as riding in several races he was a fearless punter, winning a fortune after backing himself to win the 1973 Ely by-election at 33-1. His racing journalism is characterised by a wit and understanding unmatched by any other writer. This book brings together the very best of Freud on racing - which is, in effect, the very best of Clement Freud.

Sea the Stars: The Complete Story of the World's Greatest Racehorse (2009-11-16)

Sean Magee

The son of a stable head lad, Barry Hills' fascinating story charts how he rose to be one of the leading trainers of all time. He placed a shrewd bet on a horse called Frankincense in the 1968 Lincoln race, the winnings of which were enough to set himself up with his own training yard in Lambourn. In many ways this is a social history of our times; how the son of a stable-lad managed to quickly establish his owner-base from amongst the turf establishment and aristocracy which even in the sixties was still riddled in the old class-consciousness of pre-war society. Over the years Hills' successes on the track have been legendary; there have also been disappointments. Barry Hills has also spawned a racing dynasty of five sons all in racing. His son Charlie is now ably helping him to maintain the yard's success, whilst his father recovers from serious illness. "Frankincense and More" is an entertaining and informative read that digs deep to unravel how Hills got to and remained at the top for so long.

Robin Oakley

The average racing book gives you statistics and information about racehorses, racecourses, trainers and jockeys; and tells you about riding a Derby or Grand National winner, becoming champion jockey, backing loads of winners, and how beautiful horses are. Graham Sharpe's latest racing book will tell you how Winston Churchill rode in a fixed race; how Henry Cecil's house was used as a cannabis factory; that Jenny Pitman's husband's pet name for her is 'Waggle Bum'; and, how the burglar who raided and robbed John McCririck's house then rang him up to taunt him. These, and literally hundreds of other strange stories about racing make up the perfect companion volume to Sharpe's best-selling "500 Strangest Racing Stories". In fact, no-one with even a passing interest in the Sport of Kings will be able to resist delving into the pages of Kiwis, Canaries and Monkeys to discover just how deeply odd, nay strange, the world of racing can be. As well as kiwis, canaries and monkeys there are tales of bulls, whales, dogs, pigs, seagulls, locusts and many more getting mixed up with racing - what more could anyone wish for in a racing book?
