Moods: The Peter Moody Saga (Large Print 16 Pt Edition)

How many racehorse trainers are Australian household names? There’s Bart, of course; the Master. And First Lady Gai. And then there’s Moods - Peter Moody. Respected news journalist, broadcaster and veteran racing writer Helen Thomas travelled far and wide to discover what drives Peter Moody. With Moody’s full cooperation, and extraordinary access to his family, friends and foes, Thomas traces Moody’s career - from Charleville and his time with turf legends T.J. Smith and Colin Hayes, through to the day he first noticed the bay filly that grew up to become Black Caviar. Moods: The Peter Moody Saga also examines the recent cobalt scandal, which led the trainer to announce that he was quitting racing forever. Articulate yet reticent, tough enough to try to bluff his way out of any stoush with racing officials, yet sensitive to the point that some close to him fear he is depressive, Moody is an intriguing character. For the first time ever, here is an insight into the man many will always remember as Black Caviar’s trainer, and a true Aussie legend.
