Book excerpt: Excerpt from Racing Reminiscences and Experiences of the Turf, Vol. 1 of 2 One other object I have had in view: to pre serve a record of the facts connected with an action which I felt it my duty to bring against a nobleman who had traduced my character. The verdict was in my favour, as it was inevitable it must be; but the Stewards of the Jockey Club, who sat as Arbitrators, failed to award me damages which would have marked the magnitude of the wrong I suffered, and I have felt bound therefore to vindicate myself by printing as an Appendix a report of the trial. I regret its length if the reader finds it long; but for reasons which I state in the remarks preceding it I could not make it shorter. For some assistance in the, to me, unaccustomed task of writing a book, I am indebted to my friend Mr. Alfred Watson, the Assistant Editor of the Badminton Library.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Racing Reminiscences and Experiences of the Turf, Vol. 2 of 2 That the practice of betting is in many ways mis chievous and calculated to do harm is a truism which need not be disputed; but men always have betted, and doubtless always will bet, and it would be affec tation and senseless prudery to exclude the subject from a book on the Turf. Newspapers condemn the custom in one column and publish the latest odds in the next; solemn dignitaries denounce it and sit down to play whist for sixpenny points, which is practi cally very much the same thing. I have therefore thought it well to give here some of the results of my experience and observation of what is called the Turf Market.' If the young lover of racing is not inclined to bet, it is, no doubt, well for him to avoid it if he is, he may derive matter for reflection from the remarks of one who has habitually taken the odds, and on occasions laid them, for many years past.

Excerpt: ...advisers, have copies been taken of them?--Yes, hundreds of races. Here is one paragraph I have almost omitted, but which I am reminded of. It is paragraph 5: ' The Plaintiff employed the said Charles Wood as his jockey upon the occasions when the said Charles Wood rode for him, because he thought that the said Charles Wood was a jockey who could square other jockeys in the races in which he rode.' You told us when you began to employ Charles Wood he was a young man then?--Yes. Had you any knowledge of his ever squaring other jockeys?--No, never. Did you ever request him to do so, know of his doing so, or wish him to do so?--Never. We now come to the transaction with respect to the purchase of Portnellan by Charles Wood. To what extent was authority given to him?--If he found a horse of mine amiss he would take it on himself not to run the horse if I was not present, or if a horse was in two races, and he thought he might win one race and not win the other, that he was to run him in the one he thought he would win, if he was engaged the same day, and he had power to buy in any horse as long as he saw a horse that he thought would do for me, if it was not a large sum; and he has bought many horses for me. The charge against you is made that' During the years 1885, 1886, and 1887, whilst the Plaintiff was employing the said Charles Wood as his jockey to ride races, the said Charles Wood had made money advances to and money payments for and on behalf of the said Plaintiff, and upon terms which were inconsistent with the said Plaintiff's independence of action in controlling the said Charles Wood as his jockey.' With one exception, did Wood ever lend you any money, or ever make any advance for you?--Never. Did Wood on one occasion purchase a...

Excerpt: ...had a little more to do with the actual racing, as several times the management have been rather niggardly about giving the added money when fewer horses than the number specified have started for a race, and they might well take a leaf out of the book of the Sandown executive, who are liberality itself. Kempton has a better racecourse than Sandown, but there is a nasty turn so close home that often horses that are shut in have not time to challenge the leader. Both Fordham and Archer, and I think Cannon, have told me they never know what to do in riding on this course. If they make running round the turn the horses appear to tire, and something that has got round catches them and beats them, making it appear as if they had ridden down their horses when leading; and if they do the opposite, and wait, they stand the risk of being shut in and unable to get an opening till too late, not to mention the chance of horses that are being punished swerving in front of them. The turn has, however, been made much better in the last few years. The straight five-furlong course is a very tiring one,1 and it has the disadvantage of being at such a curious angle from the stands that it is very difficult to tell what has won in a close finish. But Kempton is a very pleasant place, and an enjoyable outing on a fine day, especially since its train service has been improved. Altogether the opening meeting was a success. Lord Hartington won the big handicap with a great fine raking mare called Eylstone, ridden by Fordham. Although by Hermit, she looked more like a young Melbourne mare. Just before Goodwood I went down to Manton TWO FAMOUS MARES 173 1 Archer used quaintly to describe it as like a sirloin of beef cut the wrong way. with Mr. Crawfurd, and there...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Turf B 2despised, but the great point is whether the horse has speed, stamina, constitution, soundness, and other attributes calculated to render its offspring worthy upholders of the family; and this can only be ascer tained by submitting the animals to the ordeal of preparation and testing them on the course. An infusion of thoroughbred blood confers special and peculiar benefits on those so endowed, whether chargers, hunters, hacks, or carriage horses. The fact has been constantly made obvious when horses of what may be described as the royal strain have drifted out of their own class and been put to try conclusions with their coarser bred cousins. The blood horse - thoroughbred or even half-bred - that comes to carry a soldier or a sportsman in the hunting-field may not have the size and scope of some of his companions, and may not look so well able to bear weight; but as a very general rule his action and courage will unmistakably prove what his breeding signifies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Turf: A Record of Horses and Courses Such a period cannot be otherwise than propitious for the production of a work in which every subject is dealt with that can interest those who, in one form or another, to a greater or less extent find an attraction in the Turf. Books about racing have a not unnatural habit of being reminiscent here, for a change, is one that deals with things as they are. That entirely new ground is broken will be at once apparent to those conversant with racing literature. For one thing a work of this nature has previously not been possible, because the conditions favourable to its compilation have not existed; but no one has even attempted the comprehensive task which the author has accomplished. The reader has set before him the characteristics of every racecourse in England, and of the racing that each year takes place upon it. Although less numerous than they were half a century ago, English racecourses are still many, and no two are alike either in conformation or in the sport provided and its management. These are the details which receive treatment, the writer's wide personal experience being in every case brought into play. References to the actors upon the stage, human and equine, form a natural corollary. When we read about historical racecourses we like to hear of the celebrated races associated with them and of the great horses that earned their reputations by winning them.
