Mug Punting (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781326664916)

This collection of real-life racing stories is told through the eyes of mug punter David Atkinson as he embarks on a roller-coaster journey of discovery to the heart, soul and nether regions of horse racing. Along the way there is time to revel in the maelstrom of meetings at Cheltenham, Ascot and.....Towcester; and by turns be intoxicated by thrilling winners, spellbound by staying chasers and lubricated by real ale. The true spirit of racing is captured here in healthy dollops: sublime talent, Corinthian competition and touching naivety, as well as good humour, bad punting and worse hangovers all wrapped up in a parcel of rich history and friendship.
