Simon Marshall is one of the characters of Australian racing, sport and life. Hold Ya Horses is a rollicking read of Simon's ride to fame as a top jockey. It tells of Simon in the boxing ring with Jeff Fenech, Simon with the high rollers of the track and casino, Simon at the Olympics and Simon and the beautiful women.

Hold Ya Horses is the story of a boy who hardly finished school and who went on to guide multi million dollar investments in yearling and racing syndicates. It is the story of a young man who struggled to make correct weight and, at one time, who walked from the high life to be a rubbish collector.

A fun and inspiring read. Today Simon devotes time to talk to fathers and sons, to help them to be real winners.

Hold Ya Horses talks about:

- How you don't need algebra
- The penalty when you just cannot pee
- When your bum's too sore
- Bart magic
- When Gai gets upset
