Horseracing can make millionaires and bankrupt others in the flash of a photo-finish. This book presents a collection of hilarious racing anecdotes complemented by cartoons.

Horseracing is a serious business, generating GBP 10 billion in annual betting turnover and employing 100,000 people. It can make millionaires and bankrupt others in the flash of a photo-finish. However, since joining the "Daily Telegraph", Grand National-winning jockey Marcus Armytage - with an eye and an ear for the ridiculous - has been lightening up the Sport of Kings in his weekly columns and, latterly in the leading equestrian magazine "Horse & Hound". "Turn me on, Guv" brings together a further collection of hilarious racing anecdotes complemented by cartoons from leading caricaturist Mark Hutchinson.

Marcus Armytage is unique among jockeys-turned-journalists in having won the Grand National. In 1990 Mr Frisk ran away with him but to everyone's surprise, including his own, he found himself still on top as the horse passed the winning post in a record time. Marcus is now a racing correspondent for the Daily Telegraph.
