Book recommendations.

Doped by Jamie Reid and The Wayward Lad, Graham Bradleys autobiography are decent.

All I thoroughly enjoyed, and I am easily bored.

Thanks. Keep them coming.

Agree with a couple of the posts above

The Druids Lodge confederacy & Doped

Two excellent reads

Druids -agree
The Long Road From Portman Square = better if you know london and its pubs .
The Dickler and his Circle -surprisingly good -foreword by Oaksey .
Giving a little back - Barney's autobiography - enlightening .

What are the odds, by Bill Waterhouse. The story of one of the biggest bookies in Australia if not the world. May be putting my copy of this book on Ebay in next week or so.

Was there a similar thread on non fiction racing books? Does anyone have a link to it? Cheers SS.

@Somerset Sam -- The books in this thread are non-fiction but a quick search turns up these threads and there are doubtless far more:-

The Jumping Game - Henrietta Knight

Harry Findlay's book wont win you any money but will entertain you and point out the perils of gambling. When I say entertain, it depends on your mindset.

Tony 10.    An incredible true story of a Paddy Power shop manager who  used his position to illegally win £10,000,000  over a period of months and lost it all and more. I really enjoyed it. On Amazon I believe. Tony 10 was his user name.

Thanks all, many thanks. Have a good weekend.
