Description
Former racehorse trainer Brooks takes the lid off the racing world to provide a candid commentary on the state of the industry today. He talks openly about who is really winning and losing in a sport riven by factional interests, what owners/trainers/jockeys/ bookmakers are up to and what goes on behind closed stable doors.
