I have two: first Brian mayfield smyths book
about a trainer who started life as a jackaroo & his outlook on training & life.
Second;" Northerly" the unlikely champion.
born dead brought back to life , two offset knees no good for the sales went on to win 9 million a remarkable book about a horse who just hated losing.
my favorite memory of this horse was not of it winning but watching this horse race & take a chunk out of the horse next to it who was trying to pass it.
