Crossing the Line by Charlie Brooks
This is a candid commentary on the state of the horse racing industry today. The book takes a look at what owners, trainers, jockeys and bookmakers are up to; and what is going on behind closed stable doors. Charlie Brooks is a former racehorse trainer, and here he takes the lid off the racing world. He talks openly about who is winning and losing in a sport riven by factional interests. It also includes the full story of why he was arrested in connection with race-fixing allegations and his subsequent clearance.
