About The Track: Australias Greatest Untold Racing Sting
“Had a bloke killed the other day.”
At eighteen, working as a runner in Sydney’s betting ring, he learned the most important rule of the track: hear everything, see everything—and keep your bloody mouth shut.
Bookmakers have secrets. Their wives know they have secrets. The trouble starts when the wives decide they’ve had enough of being kept in the dark.
Inside the colourful, chaotic and cash-soaked world of Australian horse racing, jealousy and years of quiet resentment begin to build towards an audacious act of retribution. The Melbourne Cup is approaching, millions of dollars will change hands, and a group of bookmakers are about to learn that the people closest to them have been paying far more attention than they realised.
Meanwhile, the death of a champion jockey casts a darker shadow across the track. What looks like suicide may be something far more dangerous, and some secrets are worth killing to protect.
Filled with colourful characters and inspired by the author’s real experiences around Australian racing, The Track is a darkly funny Australian crime thriller of secrets, jealousy, revenge and an outrageous sting.
At the track, everyone knows something.
The smart ones keep their mouths shut.
