About this product

Product Information

In the world of horse racing, Bart Cummings is the master. His astonishing tally of twelve Melbourne Cup wins arguably makes him the greatest trainer in Australia's history and, by statistical measures, as freakish as Bradman. His laconic wit and indifference to the trappings of wealth and fame have seen him recognised as a national treasure in his own lifetime. He is one of Australia's great character. As Les Carylon writes, he simply isn't like anyone else. Cummings doesn't come into it: to everyone he's just Bart.Carlyon is Australia's most revered observer of racing. For close to forty years he has known Bart and chronicled his remarkable career. Now, in The Master, Carlyon gives us a portrait of the man, his horses and his world away from the glamour of the big race days. It shows us a Bart few have seen before. Intimate, personal, informed and captivating - The Master is loaded with stories and characters that bring racing to life and reveal much of the character and modus operandi of Bart.Illustrated with more than 100 photographs and paintings, The Master is a sparkling piece of storytelling by one of Australia's most successful and acclaimed writers.

  • A fitting tribute to a champion trainer of thoroughbred horses.

    An attractive winning publication as befitting the subject. Bart’s record as a trainer speaks for itself. I have a particular interest in him as a former employee. The author Les Carlyon writes beautifully with keen observations of Bart’s laconic humour and with a real feel for the racetrack and his careful selection, planning, and preparation of the horses under his care. A terrific read for all thoroughbred racing enthusiasts.

    This is a Great book and was in excellent condition, I have read it twice and I purchased copy for my brother who is a racing fan Bart Cummings is a legend of Australian Sport and this was written whilst he was still alive. The author Les Carlyon is an excellent author especially with horse racing.
