ALLEN & UNWIN 9781925266047 | $44.99 | | HC | AUTOBIOGRAPHY
ALLEN & UNWIN The Australian horse racing legend tells the full extraordinary story of her life for the first time
Gai Waterhouse has one of the most captivating stories in Australian sport. Her early working life centred around her love of acting, but as the daughter of legendary trainer Tommy Smith racing was in her blood, and she began working for her father at his stables. She married Rob Waterhouse, son of the famous bookmaker 'Big' Bill Waterhouse, bringing together two of Australia's most successful racing dynasties. Yet it was a marriage that also initially prevented her from getting her own trainer's licence, given that Rob had been banned from race courses in the wake of the Fine Cotton betting scandal. For years Gai fought the racing establishment to receive her licence, finally winning the battle in 1992. Almost immediately she won her first Group 1 race, and never looked back.
She's gone on to become one of Australia's greatest trainers, winning over one hundred Group 1 races, and finally the pinnacle of the sport—the Melbourne Cup—in 2013, becoming the first Australian woman to do so. Along the way she's brought some much needed glamour and fun back into racing, creating a cult following among both owners and punters.
Full of energy, passion and drive for success, Gai's life has been a lesson in perseverance, hard work, determination and flair. Now for the first time she tells the full story of her remarkable life.
Gabriel Marie 'Gai' Waterhouse was inducted into the Australian 8 Racing Hall of Fame in 2007, and has been described as the 'first lady of Australian racing'. AH, WELL, NOBODY'S PERFECT ALLEN & UNWIN Molly Meldrum
