Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Riding Recollections and Turf Stories I Have often been asked the question, "Why don't you write a book of your turf experiences?" This inquiry, often repeated, and the controversy which there has been of late over reminiscences of turf history of forty or fifty years ago, have emboldened me to try to amuse my patrons and friends with an account of a few incidents and stories of a more modern date, which have come within my own experience of the turf, an experience which extends over the past thirty-six years, and must be the justification of my attempt. I must ask my readers not to consider my book from a literary point of view. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canadian Turf Recollections and Other Sketches To say that the decision raised a row would be put ting it altogether too mild. The crowd jeered and hooted, hissed and yelled, and at one time it looked exceedingly dangerous for the weak-backed men on the stand who had allowed themselves to be persuaded into doing a rank injustice. It was difficult to understand why they had so ruled. No complaint of foul riding had been made by the jockey on King Tom, and had such been done and proven, it would have demanded the punishment of the winner, but no such objection was raised; they awarded the race as the horses finished, yet without stating any reason, declared the bets off. Afterwards evidence was forthcoming which showed the reason why. A certain London merchant, now dead, had been wining rather freely over night, and being a strong King Tom man, backed his favorite for about The result of the race staggered him and he straightway got a friend or two together, besieged the judges' box, and induced them to declare the bets 05. It was the only really unpleasant occurrence I can remember in connection with the old time meetings at Newmarket, but candor compels me to declare that it was one of the rankest decisions ever given on any race course, and in almost any other section of the country would have earned a jolly good mobbing for the judges guilty of such a trick. It is pleasant to remember that outside of the little ring influenced by the merchant alluded to, every other Londoner who had bet his money on King Tom, was ashamed of the manner in which he had been relieved of the necessity to pay his losses.

The mare usually has but one or two meals in twenty four hours. During the day she is tied to the door of the tent, ready for the Bedouin to spring, at a moment's warning, into the saddle; or she is turned out before the tent, ready sad died, the bridle merely taken off, and so trained that she ga110ps up immediately at her master's call. At night she receives a little water; and with her scanty provender of five or six pounds of barley or beans, and some times a little straw, she lies down, content, in the midst of her master's family. She can, however, endure great fatigue; she will travel fifty miles without stopping; she has been pushed, on emergency, one hundred and twenty miles, and, occasionally, neither she nor her rider has tasted food for three whole days. To the Arabian, principally, England is indebted for her improved and now unrivalled breed of horses for the turf, the field, and the road.

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 Turf Memories of Sixty Years At no time during the past sixty years has public interest in the Turf been greater than it is to-day. Not only are contemporary events enthusiastically followed, but racing history itself is often discussed with an ardour that would gladden the hearts of bygone Turf celebrities were they alive now. In the hope that it may revive memories for the older section of racegoers, and be instructive to the younger generation, this volume has been written. I often wonder if it is generally realised how numerous are the former. Habitues of the various race meetings are among the healthiest and longest living people in the country. The average man who attends a race meeting seldom realises the immense mental and physical benefit thus obtained. The fresh air, the spirit of cheery good-fellowship that pervades almost every gathering of racing folk, and the excitement of watching varying phases of a race, are to me the finest tonic in the world, and I have seldom left a racecourse without feeling well braced up in mind and body. Whether the present generation will rival their racing forebears in the matter of longevity is a debatable point.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Trotting Horse of America: How to Train and Drive Him; With Reminiscences of the Trotting Turf To suggestions that the public was eager for the book, and wanted it completed early, he commonly replied that he wanted it completed well. There was, he said, no more reason for hurrying out this, his only work, than there would be in his hurrying on the edu cation of a horse that he deemed certain to make a trotter. He was no believer in the forcing pro cess, and always contended that the book would be all the better for the extra time he had resolved to devote to it. Nothing could exceed his anxiety to avoid any thing that by misapplication might be mis chievous. He was eminently a man of clear, strong views, and of few, terse words. Many of the most valuable and well-tried conclusions of his genius and experience will be found set down in his literal words in a very few lines. I have never met with a man who was so quick and direct in coming at the kernel of a question, and who threw away the husk and shell so promptly as utterly worthless.
