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.
