Crisp, Lyndall: Takeover Target: The Best $1375 Joe Janiak Ever Spent
Book Number: 49904
Random House Australia May 1, 2010 8vo softcover 319pp near fine. Back in 2003 when Joe Janiak attended a dispersal sale in Sydney he almost went home without opening his wallet. But whether through serendipity or plain good horsemanship, he was attracted to a bay gelding with a catchy name and a lot of attitude. Takeover Target cost the hobby trainer $1375 and, in the beginning, a lot of headaches. The four-year-old unraced thoroughbred had bad knees and a worse temper but all Joe could see was potential. He was sure Target could win a few country races.

Random House Australia May 1, 2010 8vo hardcover 519pp index, b/w illus. very good. Bill Waterhouse has worked the track for more than 70 years, his first day as a bookmaker in his own name was Epsom Day 1954. Henry Waterhouse, his ancestor, brought horses to Australia with the First Fleet. This family had no choice but to follow their destiny and become "the" dynastic Australian horseracing family and we are now into the fourth generation of Waterhouse bookmakers. Bill was a practicing barrister, albeit well-known at the track, and bookmaking was a side business until his brother, Charlie died suddenly and he 'temporarily' took the family bag to the track, at 87, he can still be found trackside. Featuring stories of barristers, politicians, and other prominent characters, his real estate empire, the punting battles with the Packers, the family law suit that took ten years and $10 million to resolve, and the real story of the Fine Cotton affair that saw Bill and his son Robbie banned from any involvement in racing for many years.
