Críticas

Brilliantly funny and well informed. Ashforth is the real deal. --Charlie Brooks, Racehorse Trainer And Ex-Jockey

David Ashforth writes like an angel. This utterly brilliant, wildly funny guide to racing will be invaluable to any newcomers. Whether its rampant iconoclasm will encourage any of them to dare invest in a racehorse is debatable. --Jilly Cooper

Reseña del editor

Instantly acquire all the knowledge you need to pass as an expert in the world of horseracing. Know what to say, what not to say, what to back, when to bet, and why you should never be tempted to invest in a thoroughbred without enquiring if it has got a leg . Never again confuse an exacta with a trifecta, a hurdle race with a steeplechase, or an ante post with a winning post. Easily distinguish between going that s good to soft , or heavy , or not going at all as in the case of a racecourse that s just closed. Bask in the admiration of your fellow racing aficionados as you pronounce confidently on a range of turf-related issues, and hold your own against the most arrogant and dismissive of so-called racing experts. DO SAY Evidently the Queen took a liking to my filly at Sir Michael s yard the other day. DON T SAY It came to me in a dream... it romped home at 12 to 1, beating the favourite by a short nose. So I put a hundred on it. How was I to know it had a leg ?
