Over the last few months i have been putting pen to paper and finally my book is complete and you can view it at the link below:

Owning a racehorse doesn't mean just running out and buying a yearling at a big sale. There are a lot of options, each with its own risks and benefits, and you need to decide which way is right for you. This ebook will teach you the different ways to buy and race a horse.

Why read it?

Whether you are a seasoned horseback rider or just beginning and need to get instruction in order to handle a horse safely and learn the things you need to know to ride a horse and control a horse, you need someone who knows about horses and how to handle them. Some horses can get over one thousand pounds and they are very powerful animals. They have personalities of their own and have feelings just as we do. Learning the basics is not a task that you learn in ten minutes. Although you can read on how to handle a horse, the real experience comes from hands on training and instruction. There is more than just jumping on a horse and telling him to giddy-up.

The thought of riding horses is often bewildering to people. The thought of climbing high in the saddle can be scary because horses are rather large and can seem frightening. Lots of people are nervous about horseback riding, but some are actually afraid of horses. You are not to be blamed for this. You are just acting upon information that you have gathered throughout your life.

TAB cost cutting is about to hit racing's Trackside television channel with scores of redundancies, the axing of most shows, and reduced raceday coverage.

And the impending cuts have industry leaders worried the channel, racing's shop window, will become a turnoff for viewers with little more than wall-to-wall racing from obscure overseas venues.

The job losses will hit everyone from senior managers to the newest recruits, as New Zealand Racing Board bosses try to save $12 million in the wake of declining betting turnover.

1.  Have a big glass of water a few minutes before eating, it’ll help you to feel fuller.

2. When eating out order water with lemon instead of sugary drinks or alcohol.  The lemon is refreshing, and will help your body process the fatty food you’re eating.

3. When ordering Chinese food, get steamed rice instead of fried rice.

4. If you want to go to an expensive restaurant or buffet, go for lunch, you’ll enjoy the same quality of food at a much lower price.  You also will have that big meal earlier in the day.

5. When at social gatherings or during the holidays it can be challenging not to fall off the wagon.  Some people actually eat more because they are stressed–there is a chemical reason for it.  Do some deep breathing, stretching, take a walk, to try listening to your favourite song to try to get those stress-hormone levels down before you surround yourself with food.

Let’s get right into it.

A jockey's life is about the most dangerous there is, a new study in Australia has found.

Researchers say that in the danger stakes, being a jockey was only just outranked by offshore fishermen.

The Australian Racing Board said the study, published in the Australian Medical Journal, confirmed the importance racing authorities placed on improving health and safety standards.

"We welcome this research as reinforcing the importance of our ongoing efforts to make health and safety in Australian racing as safe as possible," ARB chairman Bob Bentley said.
