Adam Crettenden is a racing broadcaster with more than 20 years of broadcasting experience. He has held his full-time position as a leading voice of Victorian country racing since 1996, calling over 2500 race meetings. He can be heard on a regular basis via Australia's racing radio network and Sky Racing, and is also a presenter for Racing.com, a free-to-air TV affiliate of Seven West Media. A school project ignited his desire to become a commentator in 1992, the same year Subzero won the Melbourne Cup. His admiration of Subzero has led to the comprehensive and methodical research that has been the basis of this book. Adam Crettenden lives in regional Victoria along with his wife, Kim, and owns several horses, none of which has won the Melbourne Cup.
