The book covers a wide range of topics, while its subtitle, “Stories of challenge, recovery and redemption” reinforces the varied subjects ranging across history, politics, sport and everyday life.

Illustrated by County Kildare-based Declan Considine just like Osborne's previous book Poise And Stride that was published in 2020, the book will be available for €25 plus postage at Woodbine Books. All proceeds from the sale of Here's the Thing will go to support Cuan Mhuire Addiction Treatment Centres which includes the centre in Athy, County Kildare. Cuan Mhuire's mission is to provide an environment in which people who feel rejected and dejected because of their addictions become aware of and learn to deal with the underlying problems relating to these addictions and discover their uniqueness, goodness, giftedness and their real purpose in life. The work Cuan Mhuire has been doing since 1966 has given hope and support to tens of thousands of individuals and their families.

Osborne said, “Godolphin is supporting a Horse Racing Ireland/Equuip initiative to raise awareness of Cuan Mhuire's services within the Thoroughbred industry in Ireland and I hope this book can aid that effort. I also hope that Here's the Thing encourages people to help Cuan Mhuire and to offer hope to those struggling with addiction.”

Gerry McElroy, CEO of Cuan Mhuire, added, “We are extremely grateful to Joe Osborne of Godolphin Ireland for highlighting Cuan Mhuire by donating the proceeds from the sale of this wonderful book. The book's stories are about life's challenges and recovery which is in line with Cuan Mhuire's Residential Rehabilitation programmes through which we support people and their families through their journey of addiction.”
