“Just released through Allen and Unwin is this bio of Peter Moody , the champion trainer of Black Caviar and tells the tale from growing up in far west Queensland with an alcoholic father and beleaguered mother. It is a tale of a country boy made good and in such a way that the telling is both informative and interesting and fun to read.
A no bullshit no punches pulled personal history of the Peter Moody who became one of the world’s best known trainers. A smoking drinking no nonsense fair dinkum aussie made good who now is prepared to tell the tale.
Yes you can get your copy at your nearest bookshop from today and to celebrate the release Allen and Unwin have provided us with 5 copies to give away to the first readers to respond to the following questions correctly.
Where was Peter Moody born and what was his middle name? Where was Black Caviars last race? And what typically aussie, blokey thing took place in the Ascot car park after Black Caviars famous win? Those of you who have been reading our Professional Punters Diary over recent days will know the answers.You know Black Caviar wasn’t Moodys only horse,he was a champion trainer long before he found that mighty mare. Reading through the book you will see how he developed as a trainer and made it to the “big time” even though he was never all that comforatble with it. Honestly, it is more than just a good read, it is part of Australia’s Racing history.
