The Midas Man TJ by Kevin Perkins is a lively 1993 Australian biography that gallops through the golden era of turf, celebrating the legendary trainer Tommy Smith and his champion thoroughbreds. First-edition hardcover with its original dust jacket still bright, this 350-page story blends racing anecdotes, cultural history, and country humour for horse lovers and sports readers alike.

Gift-inscribed on the flyleaf and lightly foxed only on the outer page edges, this smoke-free copy is otherwise crisp, un-creased, and ready for the shelf. A nostalgic keepsake for anyone who remembers the roar of the mounting yard and the colours of Randwick.

Collectors seeking Australiana, equestrian memoirs, or a slice of turf legend will find this vintage Macmillan title a satisfying addition. Let Tommy Smith’s “Midas touch” ride again in your personal library.
