A striking and increasingly scarce trio of mid-century Australian racing titles, The Australasian Racegoer’s Guide to Backing Winners by Arthur Thorn presents a fascinating window into the world of 1960s punting, form analysis, and betting strategy.

The ratings in the books are an improvement on Robert Saunders Dowst who was active in USA in the 1930s and considered one of the early “system builders” in horseracing.

This is a visually appealing set written during a period when horse racing held a central place in Australian sporting culture, these guides offer both practical systems for selecting winners and an engaging snapshot of the thinking and methods of the era.

Arthur Thorn was an Australian racing writer, editor, and publisher active from the 1960s to 1970s, producing specialised guides for punters through his Manly-based Thorn Publications.
