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.

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 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Blue Ribbon of the Turf When the hundredth anniversary of the Derby fell to be celebrated, I thought we might then see announced a history of the turf's most-coveted prize. But the centenary of the world-renowned race passed over without anyone having ventured to write a sketch of its history. That task has in the meantime been left to me: and has been a pleasant one, although materials for a chronicle of the earlier contests have proved scarce. I have made several vain searches to procure a list of 'entries' for the first Derby; fortunately, however, the names of the runners for what proved to be the beginning of a wonderful series of tine races have been preserved, and a competent authority has informed me that the entries for the premier Derby were taken when the horses were 'two-year-olds, ' and that the gentlemen promised to subscribe again.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cherry and Black: The Career of Mr. Pierre Lorillard on the Turf Most of the racing stories 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 im portance. 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 de scription 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.

Download or read book Turf Memories of Sixty Years (Classic Reprint) written by Alexander Scott and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 358 pages. 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 2015-08-05 with total page 744 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Turf Register and Sporting Magazine, Vol. 4 Until the season just passed, he had been absent for three years from the state of Virginia, standing in the west; where his get, from mares of good blood, are represented to be very promising; for one of them, out of the dam of Sally Hope, and another, the produce of the dam of Sally McGee, it is stated that very large offers have been refused. It is fair to state further in his behalf, that amongst the causes which have prevented his attaining that height of celebrity to which his blood, figure, and powers would have elevated him, is the fact of his having passed much of his time in Louisa, Orange, Madison, Culpepper, Spotsylvania, and Fauquier counties, where there were few thoroughbred mares, and scarcely one regular racing establishment. On the score of his family, few can sustain higher claims to distinction. One-half of his blood being derived from Sir Archy himself, it will be admitted there is no alloy there. The other branch comes through his dam by the imported Druid; his g. grandam by Americus, his g. g. grandam by the imported Old Janus, his g. g. g. grandam also by Old Janus, his g. g. g. g. grandam by the imported horse Moor's Partner, his g. g. g. g. g. grandam by the imported horse Old Jolly Roger, out of the imported mare Kitty Fisher. Carolinian was bred by Major Philip Claiborne, of Setwood, in Brunswick county, Virginia, and was foaled 28th of May, 1815. In confirmation of his blood, his owners have exhibited a certificate from P. N. Edgar, Esq. from which the following is extracted. Mr. E. it is known has made pedigrees his assiduous study for years, in the compilation of his American Stud Book. "I do certify, that I have traced the pedigree of the celebrated racehorse Carolinian on the General Stud Book of England, and pronounce the aforesaid horse to be thoroughbred, and the whole family whence he has descended I consider to be of as pure blood as any horse either in this country, or in England. Carolinian's blood can be traced in the above book as far back as the following horses in England: - Place's White Turk, imported by Mr. Place, stud-keeper to Oliver Cromwell, in the year 1652, when he was protector. The Lyster or Straddling Turk, 1653. Dodsworth's dam, 1546." Of the performances of Carolinian the account before us is not full, but it authorizes the statement, that he commenced his career at Warrenton, in the autumn of 1818, then three years old, beating Mr. Plumer's mare, by Sir Archy. At Drummondsburgh he won the great postsake, and the high distinction of beating the afterwards so much renowned Virginian. In the race he also beat Mr. Worsham's Quickstep.
