“‘If you’re after a game of chance, try your luck at a casino. If you’re seeking theatre, find it at the races.’ – Les Carlyon. Andrew Rule has spent his lifetime observing the heroes and villains, dreamers and schemers of the racing world. In ‘Chance’, he masterfully distills the audacity, desperation, and inherent danger of the racetrack. He reveals racing’s most celebrated and notorious moments, its triumphs and its hidden truths, exposing the raw grit beneath the glamour. The book recounts tales of odds setters and risk takers, betting plunges orchestrated with more precision than bank heists, of cunning trainers, daring jockeys, and audacious bookmakers. Striking a balance between toughness and tenderness, darkness and humor, ‘Chance’ surpasses the confines of what they label as the sport of kings.
