Waterhouse and Smith - new book

[Dogwatcher]

Not exactly gambling but thought you guys would like to know this book is coming out.


Waterhouse and Smith is the unauthorised biography that provides a rare insight into the world of Australia's most famous racing dynasties - the Waterhouse and Smith families. Written by journalist and author John Ellicott, this controversial and compelling book looks at the families' successes, scandals and feuds, with startling revelations about the inner-workings and secrets of the Waterhouse and Smith clans.

From the behind-the-scenes details on the Fine Cotton scandal to Gai Waterhouses' struggle to rise through the male-dominated ranks of racing, Ellicott exposes the untold stories of Australian racing. Drawing on eyewitness accounts of those who were there - jockeys, owners, bookies, friends and enemies, and racing officials - Ellicott's eloquent portrayal brings to life the story of these two hugely influential families, whose larger-than-life identities transcend the racing world.

Released in October, in time for the 2008 Spring Racing Carnival, Waterhouse and Smith is a fascinating study of power, money and influence that will appeal both to the uninitiated and racing aficionados.
