An anthology of horse racing stories with particular emphasis on the punt: the early days of punting; the illegal totes; the sweeps; the touts and urgers; tales of deception; the dead-uns and the goers; the SP bookies and doubles men. This is a social history as seen through the eyes of the racegoer, collected from over 100 years of Australian literature.
