For over five decades he's been at the very top of his profession, yet the man himself remains a fascinating and intriguing mystery. Now, for the first time, he tells his extraordinary story. In Bart: My Life, he recounts his early years as his father's apprentice, leading to his first Group One win in 1958. He never looked back. In over half a century as trainer, Bart has won over 250 Group One races, and an incredible tally of twelve Melbourne Cup wins, from his first triumph with Light Fingers in 1965 to Viewed's stunning victory in 2008. From the highs of the racetrack to the lows of suspensions and near-bankruptcy, Bart shares his unique perspective on a long period of Australian racing. Along the way he illuminates - with his trademark dry wit - the colourful trainers, jockeys and owners who populate the industry. *** Quantity Available: 1.
