Title: Horse racing book as xmas present Post by: DaveShoelace on December 15, 2011, 11:32:33 AM Gotta buy an xmas present for someone and he loves the GGs, can anyone recommend a decent book on the subject?
He knows what he is doing in general, so I would say a biography type book would go down well.

If he is a punter then Patrick Veitchs book "Enemy number One" is interesting. It is well named when I was a bookmaker in the UK Veitch was definitely the biggest headache I had on a daily basis.
