The ultimate guide to the turf
Sean Magee has written another wonderful addition to Channel 4's excellent range of racing guides. His Channel 4 Guide to Form and Betting is the best book of its kind, and this new book adds to Magee's reputation as a superb writer and as horse racing's most knowledgable pundit and historian.

Bought as a present
Not into racing but bought for a family member hoping that they would pass a percentage of wins onto me.

Informed it was good but have still not received any wins.

Dark horses these gamblers !
