The Story
T.J. Smith, the racing legend, is one of the most successful trainers of thoroughbred racehorses in the world. Cocky, outspoken, and with a reputation for determination and ruthlessness, T.J. is universally admired for his unequalled ability and record. In one of the most competitive and prosperous racing environments in the world, Tommy Smith won the Sydney horse trainers premiership a staggering 33 years in succession, and made household names out of such champions as Tulloch, Mighty Kingdom, Gunsynd, Just a Dash, Bounding Away and Kingston Town. T.J's rise from poverty in the bush to fortune and fame in the big city is one of the classic romances of the turf. "TJ" is his story, compellingly told by Kevin Perkins, longtime associate of T.J.
