Publishers Description: Biography of Gai Waterhouse, acknowledged as the leading Randwick horse trainer. Tells of her struggles to follow in her famous horse-trainer father T J Smiths footsteps.

Determined to fight this injustice she took her case to the High Court and won and then set out to prove that she could compete with the best. Includes several photographs and a table of Gais statistics as a trainer. The author is a well-known writer and journalist and his works include The Larwood Story and T J Q The Midas Man.
