'The forthright, fascinating memoir of one of Australia’s most high-profile and best-liked racing identities, Peter Moody’s story is a classic; a boy from the bush who worked his way from outback Queensland all the way to Royal Ascot. As a kid growing up in Wyandra, a tiny bush town in Western Queensland, Peter learned to ride almost before he could walk. A mate’s introduction got him an eye-opening job working as a strapper for the legendary trainer Tommy Smith in Sydney. It was a momentous move for a bush kid, and one that would set the course of his life. From outback childhood, to strapper, to foreman, to premiership-winning trainer and the guiding force behind the most famous and successful horse of recent times, Black Caviar—and finally to his run-in with the racing authorities, Peter’s autobiography gives a hugely entertaining and authentic insight into one of the largest characters in Australian sport.'
