AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Crack young horseman Peter Klein left home at the age of sixteen and plunged headfirst into the rough and tumble world of champion gallopers, top trainers and racing personalities. Join Peter for the ride of his life as he tells what it was like growing up in racing stables and working for the top trainers in the seventies including Tommy Smith, Bart Cummings and Geoff Murphy.

'In an era of colourful racing personalities, Peter has seen it all, a former strapper of champion galloper Kingston Town, he was also associated with horses like Surroud and Hyperno.

'This is a great read for all associated with racing in any way.'
