With a meticulous, entirely legal plan involving dozens of people, perfectly timed phone calls, sealed orders and months of preparation, Curley and Yellow Sam beat the bookmakers and cost them millions. \nThey said that it could never happen again. \nBut in May 2010, thirty-five years after his first coup, Curley staged the ultimate multi-million-pound-winning sequel.\nThe Sure Thing tells the complete story of how he managed to organise the biggest gamble in racing history - and how he then followed up with yet another audacious scheme in January 2014.","brand":"Cornerstone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52051371852064,"sku":"9780099576587","price":9.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780099576587.jpg?v=1785372576","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/sure-thing-nick-townsend-9780099576587","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
