Ok 12 April 2011
By Nigel
Format:Hardcover
Ok book but I thought not a lot of content. Read whole book in few days and not because it was interesting.
Will not re-read personally and plenty of better/interesting racing/gambling books out there.

I have to say that this is the first book I have ever seen my husband read from cover to cover !!

He enjoyed it so much and could not stop talking about what an interesting life Mr Wiltshire has had

I say anyone who has ever been horse or dog racing will love this book

Really enjoyed this book. I was at Ascot the day Frankie rode his Magnificent Seven and didn't realise until later that someone lost their livelihood on the same day. Gary's story is fascinating and it's amazing that he actually paid back all of the money. I also enjoyed his life story and where he got to. He's larger than life and funny too!
