After a 40-year career taking the bets that no one else would take
for William Hill after expanding the company's offerings to its
customers beyond purely sporting contests, in Strange Stuff Graham
Sharpe chronicles the weirdest, oddest, strangest, craziest antics
and events to happen on racecourses to horses, jockeys, trainers,
owners, bookies and racegoers over the years. His previous titles
include biographies of arch-eccentric racehorse owner Dorothy
Paget, whose horses won the Grand National, Gold Cup, Champion
Hurdle and Derby; and William Hill, who founded his eponymous
company in 1934, when he was betting on-course and transforming the
bookmaking scene. His Magnificent Seven chronicled the story of
Frankie Dettori's greatest day, when he almost single-handedly
bankrupted the country's biggest bookies. In his latest book you'll
find hundreds of stories and unusual racing facts to dip in and out
of, making this the perfect gift for any horse racing fan, and it
is sure to appeal to young and old alike.
