Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of the Turf LL men love a horse who know a horse. The love of contest and struggle forms a kinship between man and horse that exists between no others. It is the gameness, the courage, the fighting spirit of the thoroughbred which arouses in man the finest instincts, and it is these qualities that cause the love of man for the thoroughbred. It is noticeable too, that the thoroughbred horse loves only those human beings who possess those same qualities. On the race-track we find the only pure democracy of the world, a democracy which includes all classes, all strata of society. It is more liberal, more forgiving of human frailties and human weakness, than any other place, be cause men who know racing understand how hearts break when the weight cloths are too heavy and the distance too great.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Turf Fora decade more than the three score years and ten allotted by a gracious Providence to man I have been awaiting the solemn call which comes to all human kind to weigh in, and then to the great Steward make account of the use to which I put the opportunities that came to me. In the active competition of life, when rivalries were keen, when ambitions created new fields and contests kept alert both mind and body, there was little time, indeed, to do more than merely store away in unclassified groups in memory events and incidents each one deserving of a sep arate chapter. To write a history of the American turf had long been a cherished project, but each day of a life of practically unremitting and exacting labor interfered until the westering sun of my eightieth year warns me that I must be up and doing if I would achieve my cherished ambition and leave behind me something which I trust will be worthy tribute to the best and the noblest sport that it is given to man to enjoy. If in the chapters which are to come there should be noted a tone of enthusiastic optimism, let the reader realize that sixty-five years of my life were spent in the activities oi the turf as a jockey, a trainer and an owner; that I have seen, and in many of them personally participated, practically all of. The great contests which gave fame to our thorough breds; that I have traveled on foot through valleys and over mountains, when but rough paths pointed the way between places now drawn close together by the bands of great trunk line railroads, leading the horse that was on conquest bent; that I spent weary weeks on journeys that now would be but the occupation of one brief day of luxurious travel; thati have seen the upward and the onward progress which has marked the rise of the thoroughbred in America from a little meet in some isolated though sport-loving place to the magnificent seasons of Belmont Park.

Book Synopsis Cherry and Black by : W. S. Vosburgh
Download or read book Cherry and Black written by W. S. Vosburgh and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cherry and Black: The Career of Mr. Pierre Lorillard on the Turf Most of the racing stones I have read had more to do with showing how some otherwise uninteresting person, who lived upon the precarious product of his cunning, had performed a great coup in the betting, and often by methods somewhat irregular, to say the least. The merits of the great race-horses seem of secondary importance. The leading turfmen and legislators are ignored to show the acuteness of some individual whose only title to distinction is his recklessness with money he never earned. Whoever expects to find this a volume of that description will be disappointed. Betting will be treated as an incident of racing not as its object. The great races and the great race-horses, the leading owners, trainers, and jockeys of the past forty years afford ample material of general interest with which to fill a volume without going into the details of their betting, which is a personal matter and concerns them alone.

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 Synopsis The English Turf by : Charles Richardson
Download or read book The English Turf written by Charles Richardson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 528 pages. 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.

This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canadian Turf Recollections and Other Sketches There are many good people who call horse racing a sinful amusement and say hard things about those who patronize it. There are also a large number of equally good people who see no harm in the Sport and heartily encourage it. I am not ashamed to own that I was one of the big crowd of sinners who attended the races on the town moor this afternoon. I am also not ashamed to own that I enthused over the splendid struggle be tween the three gallant thoroughbreds which fought out the finish in the Wilton Plate, and it was not surprising that deafening cheers rewarded such an exhibition of gameness. I know many good men also who will back their favorite horse, yet are in no way deserving of being stigmatized as gamblers for so indulging. Racing honestly conducted is a noble sport and many of the most celebrated names in our national history have been pillars of the turf. It is the favorite sport of our people and is likely long to remain so. The above words it was my privilege, when a mere boy, to hear fall from the lips of one who was then a central figure in the political history of Europe; a states man whose bold and fearless foreign policy had made him the idol of his countrymen. The speaker was Lord Palmerston, Premier of Great Britain, and the occasion, a county dinner at a race meeting in Wiltshire. No man in English public life ever understood his countrymen better than Lord Palmerston. Though an aristocrat by birth, he was eminently a man of the people. He was equally at home in the homes of the poor and in the palaces of the great. In a word, he was one of those outspoken, fearless public men whose actions were ever guided more by principle than by policy. What he said regarding the popularity of racing in England is also true of its status in this country, and I am proud of the fact that for forty years I published a newspaper devoted to Canadian turf interests, ever fighting for the right as I saw it. During those years much interesting sport was recorded and from my mem ory I have here served up some recollections of the most notable events.
