Autobiography of an ordinary man who had luck on his side. The author’s story of working class life in Western Australia is set against the background of the Depression, war and horse racing, the latter from both sides of the fence.

Bill Marks was born in 1916 and raised in South Fremantle, Perth Western Australia. Bill’s childhood was deeply affected by the Depression and his young adulthood by World War II. Bill grew up around the racing industry, ran a two-up game in the army and had a short and disastrous career as a bookmaker. In this book, Bill Marks tells his story with the touch of a seasoned raconteur.
