On the Punt: True Tales from the Track
by Bartley Patrick (9780143204299)

This collection of anecdotes from the track provides a peek into into the world of punting on horses. The columns, originally published in The Age, give insight into some of the big wins, huge losses, long odds and colourful characters that have made Australia's racetracks so lively over more than thirty decades, all written with Bartley's characteristic wit and sharp observations.

EVER HAD AN UNFORGETTABLE DAY ON THE PUNT?
Racing aficionado Patrick Bartley collects tales of fervour, intrigue and folly straight from the track. His anecdotes offer a view into the world of racing: the big wins, gut-wrenching losses, plunges, long-shot winners and larger-than-life characters that colour Australia's racetracks.
Brimming with Bartley's signature wit, these stories will have you trackside before you can even open a form guide.
'Patrick has gathered the stories racing people tell each other when they think no one else is listening.' Andrew Rule
