Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Turf: With Anecdotes and Recollections of Its Principals Celebrities
The very favourable reception accorded to 'The Racehorse in Training' induces me to appear before the public again as the writer of my Reminiscences. It is a work that aims to deal in a plain fashion with matters of importance to all those who have an interest in the turf, and relies solely for its success on its truthful simplicity and its impartial mode of dealing with the diverse subjects which come under consideration. It is partly biographical, partly anecdotal; and in the portions which treat of trials and the stable, has its technical or professional side. The biographical sketches have, I hope, in most cases the charm of novelty to recommend them, either in the subject itself or in their treatment.
