Download or read book Stable Lass written by Gemma Hogg and published by Sidgwick & Jackson. This book was released on 2018-04-10 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being a stable lass is probably one of the poorest paid jobs in the country, and yet for Gemma it is the most rewarding. She works in a beautiful location - Middleham in Wensleydale - and if the people are occasionally challenging, the horses are downright astonishing. Now, in Stable Lass, she takes us into the closed world of a racing stable, from the politics and in-fighting to the romances and affairs, from the elation of riding her first winner to coping with the grief of losing a horse. Like all stable lads and lasses, Gemma arrived as a teenager and had to cope with living away from home for the first time, as well as adapt to the brutal hours and backbreaking work. Eighteen years later she is assistant trainer and still loves it. She describes falling in love with some of the horses as well as what happens when a horse takes against you, and the very real danger of being killed by a kick. She brings to life the characters around the yard, from straight-speaking boss Mickey Hammond to the millionaire owners who land by helicopter in the paddock, the jockeys starving themselves to make weight, and the stable lads and lasses who are from very different backgrounds. And of course she pays tribute to the horses themselves, some loveable, some cantankerous, all impressive.

Book excerpt: 'Hello, is that Jonathan Rendall?' 'Speaking.' 'My name's Rachel. I'm calling from Yellow Jersey Press and I have a proposal for you. I'm looking for someone to give £12,000 to but the catch is they have to spend it all on gambling - horses, the dogs, casinos, boxing, golf, footie, that sort of thing - and then write a book about it. Any profits made are entirely that person's but if they lose it all I still want my book. It's high risk but without wanting to assume too much, I've heard a bit about you and somehow I thought it may appeal. Think about it - you'd have the opportunity to lay some serious bets offering serious returns, you could play hard ball in poker games for once, even go to Vegas and, as I said, those winnings are yours to blow in whatever way you wish'. 'When do I start?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The specialized jargon of some sports can be quite esoteric. Non-Americans, for example, are likely puzzled by baseball terms such as bunt, cut-off man, and safety squeeze, while the non-British may pause over cricket's Chinaman, doosra, golden duck, off-break, popping crease, and yorker. This new dictionary gives the definitions of more than 8,000 terms used in sports and games from around the world, including mainstream sports like basketball and billiards alongside the more obscure netball and snooker. Entries cover sports equipment, strategies, venues, qualifying categories, awards, and administrative bodies, while a comprehensive system of cross-references offers assistance and clarification when needed. An appendix lists standard abbreviations of sports ruling bodies and administrative organizations.
