Cullen dedicates these stories to every man bitten by the horse bug or the poker microbe. They follow trainers, touts, wiretappers, punters and card players through lucky streaks, almost-combinations and hard-luck seasons, with races whooped home under the wire and bets that go spectacularly wrong, all told in brisk sporting slang.
Lively period humour for anyone who enjoys Damon Runyon or a good yarn about long odds. Download the free EPUB.
