What they said about The Gambling Man

The best book written by an Australian.
- Jim Oram, the late legendary News Limited journalist.

Compulsive reading. You can’t put the damned thing down.
- Alan Jones, Australia’s leading broadcaster.

Clearly the bravest and best book on racing I have read.
- Mark Esler, leading Melbourne turf writer.

One of the best books on racing ever written.
- Paul Richards, Winning Post columnist.

The Gambling Man offers horseracing folklore’s most fascinating read.
- Roman Kozlovski, racing feature writer, Practical Punting Monthly.

This book will become a classic, with people still referring to it in 50 years’ time.
-
Selwa Anthony, Sydney literary critic.

The book is tipped to produce enough writs to snow the straight at Royal Randwick. Worthy of Godfather feature film treatment.
-
Peter Cameron, The Courier Mail, Brisbane.

An epic tale of magnificent sweep..lumps of money, web-like intrigues, spectacular gambling, shadowy underworld figures, allegations of abuse of power, murky deals and questionable behaviour by some pillars of society. What comes next? The movie. It deserves a top-line cast.
-
Alan Aitken, Sydney Morning Herald.

The Gambling Man – intriguing, all about big money, the power men of racing, amazing real-life characters. The author is the new Salman Rushdie.
-
Ray Fewings, Adelaide radio personality.

Fantastic reading. Amazing stuff. Probably a mini-series.
-
Ian McMinn, Radio 3AW, Melbourne.

It took a lot of balls to write this and name the names.
-
Tim Bickerstaff, leading Radio Pacific broadcaster, New Zealand.
