With new pieces from the 1970s (meet Bart Cummings before he was a Cup legend) and recent stories including a moving farewell to Colin Hayes, Les Carlyon's acclaimed collection of feature stories and vignettes from Australian racing now spans a quarter of a century.
Les's eye is both sharp and tender, his writing is so vivid you can almost feel the steaming breath of the mighty gallopers on your cheek and he is under no illusions about the reality of this glorious, awful, fortune-making, heart-breaking sport. He is a true heir to Damon Runyon. 'True Grit' is a passing parade of people and horses, winners and losers.
