Mark Coton stands out as a writer, I have also trawled the net reading his stuff, very honest, highs and deep lows, he’s lived and breathed it, and still is.

Odds & Sods.
This is the story of Ron Pollard, the Ladbrokes bookmaker who set out by opening a “book” on the contest for the Tory leadership following the Christine Keeler affair. It is the most entertaining book I have ever read on gambling. It is a must buy for any gamblers library!

thanks for that suggestion, I will have a look. Most of these racing books are timeless,and it is good to reminisce! Whatever you think of him he makes the games more interesting, even now what hos coups pop up every couple of years.

if you love horse racing is Barney Curley ‘Giving a little Back’ it’s quite an old book now but is a great insight into the life of the legend.Either love or loath him it’s a great read.

And thanks for the other suggestion, I will try and find a copy.

Mordin is heroic and Priest is food for the systematic approach. Have you tried any Americans? All of Andrew Beyers books are a good read and there’s a little gem called Fast Track To Profits On The Turf by Mark Cramer.

Yes you are right, the principles remain the same in a lot of these books. I will have to check out Clive Holt’s Fineform series. Thanks
