| Summary: |
Since working as a strapper in his father's stables, Cups King Bart Cummings has become an icon of Australian sport. With a staggering record of over 250 Group One wins, he has trained 12 Melbourne Cup winners and many other champion horses. In Bart: My Life, the normally understated Bart Cummings tells his story for the first time. From the highs of the racetrack to the lows of suspensions and near bankruptcy, Bart shares his unique perspective on an extraordinarily long period of Australian racing. Along the way he illuminates - with his trademark dry wit - the colourful trainers, jockeys and owners who populate the industry. |
