Gai

Gai Waterhouse is one of Australia's most successful, hard-working and innovative racehorse trainers.  Over the past three years, a period of great change in the thoroughbred industry, Gai has kept a meticulous, lively, informative - and funny - diary of her life, philosophy, relationships and dreams.

Gai - In My Words is not just a day-by-day account of the life of a highly professional trainer, it is a frank reflection on what it takes to reach the top - and stay there.

Gai describes the influence of her remarkable parents TJ (Tommy) and Valerie Smith, her selfless love of her husband Rob and her independent and successful children Kate and Tom, and how high achievers can mix business success with the needs of family and friends, colleagues and workmates, and the complex world of thoroughbred racing.
