AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'When it comes to racing, the name most Australians associate with the racetrack is Waterhouse. This is their compelling story.

HIGH STAKES tracks the story of the Waterhouse dynasty - from the early years of the colony to Bill Waterhouse's introduction to the bookmaking world as a sixteen-year-old, working as a 'penciller' (writing betting tickets) for his father in the late thirties. From that moment his future was clear. He went on to make money both on and off the track - and created headlines during the notorious Fine Cotton affair in the eighties.' (Hachette Australia)
