Autobiography Australia Horse Racing True Crime Pentridge Prison

Bruce The Bookie teams the storytelling of Grantley Bernard with basketball legend Lindsay Gaze to recount one man’s plunge into Australia’s underground horse-racing underworld. This 182-page paperback is a brisk, true-crime memoir that takes readers from the thrill of the track to the bleak corridors of Pentridge Prison.

Written for young adults and up, the narrative blends local Melbourne history with reflections on bookmaking, jail time and the code of the turf. Non-fiction fans who enjoy horse sports, organised-crime biographies or gritty Australian memoirs will find plenty to keep the pages turning.

The book is in very good condition: crisp, unmarked pages, no dog-ears, a tight spine and no writing or smoke odours—ready to read or gift.

Add this uncommon joint autobiography to your collection and discover why Bruce’s gamble on horses led to more than just lost bets.
