Champion tipster Tony Stafford takes an informed look at the world of horse racing. He distils a lifetime of experience and observation into practical advice as to how to get the most from the sport, whether at home or at the track. He explains how to evaluate the form of horses, what to look for in the conformation of the horse, which courses offer the best (and worst) facilities, when it is best to bet on the tote rather than with a bookie and where to look for value. The book also contains many anecdotes about the colourful characters who people racing - from owners, trainers and jockeys to punters, stewards and bookmakers. It is for anyone interested in racing who wants their knowledge augmented with useful tips.
This book investigates the core question of how a casual observer or enthusiast can transition into a more informed and strategic participant in the world of horse racing. The authors, champion tipster Tony Stafford and legendary jockey Lester Piggott, leverage decades of professional experience to provide a structured framework for evaluating horse form, track conditions, and betting value. By synthesizing technical analysis with industry anecdotes, the text serves as a practical guide for navigating the complexities of the sport.

The subject matter points to a highly specialized, practical guide intended for readers seeking to improve their analytical approach to horse racing. The inclusion of insights from a figure as prominent as Lester Piggott suggests a text that balances technical instruction with the realities of the professional racing environment.
