{"product_id":"9781925230147","title":"Foul Luck \u0026 Outrageous Fortune: A Candid Tell-all by a Larrikin Legend of Racing","description":"\u003cp\u003eRick Hore-Lacy, law-student-turned-horse-trainer who became an Aussie legend in the sport of horse racing. The outspoken larrikin caused a furore in the elite horse racing industry by breaking conventions with his vociferous opinions and infamous actions. Told with uncompromising honesty, this is a tale that will take you to the inner sanctum of the 'Sport of Kings' and into the heaving action of the most exciting wins of his 20 Group-One victories. A story that tells of criminal sabotage, crushing mistakes, outrageous success, and above all, indomitable Aussie spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eI regard Rick Hore-Lacy as Australia's (and possibly, the world's) best judge of a yearling. He has proven that season on season, buying an extremely limited number and every year producing an outstanding runner. He is without peer in the sale ring. As a trainer, he was refreshingly unconventional and enjoyed some great successes.\u003c\/em\u003e\" - Gai Waterhouse\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eRick Hore-Lacy is a wonderful horseman with a great eye for picking a yearling who would turn into a successful runner. We had a wonderful association over the years and a lot of luck with some outstanding horses like Redoute's Choice. It was an honour and a privilege to ride for him.\u003c\/em\u003e\" - Jim Cassidy (Pumper)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eTo say Rick Hore-Lacy is a character is an understatement. I've known the man for 30 years or so and have always enjoyed talking with him on all manner of subjects. He's a man that's trained great sprinters, stayers, 2YOs and jumpers. His methods weren't always conventional but were always well thought through and generally very successful. His eye for a young horse is approaching legend status and his wit and good humour have reached it.\u003c\/em\u003e\" - Lee Freedman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Port Campbell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039437668592,"sku":"9781925230147","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781925230147_p0.jpg?v=1763636029","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781925230147","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
