Product Information

DAYS LIKE THESE is a personal autobiographical account of one man's passionate love affair with horse racing and betting. It chronicles the origins and consequences of his obsession with the sport and his addiction to gambling, through good times and bad. By interweaving dramatic racing moments with key episodes from his own experiences, Reid shows how a love of 'the turf' can transform and intensify everyday life.The book celebrates some of the great racing personalities of the last 40 years - from Sir Peter O'Sullivan and Lester Piggott to J.P. McManus and Captain Ryan Price - and focuses on some of the most prestigious horses, including Arkle and Dawn Run in particular. Beginning with a nail-biting account of a 10,000 gamble at the 2002 Cheltenham Festival and concluding with the jubilation of a 16-1 Derby Day triumph, Reid evokes the people, the faces, the smells of reeking fast food, and the potent adrenalin-charged atmosphere of the track. As well as being a vivid portrayal of horse racing life, this is also a book about fathers and sons, grandmothers and grandsons, and the path from childhood to adulthood. There is a memorable portrait of Reid's eccentric gambling-mad grand
