Excerpt from The Racing World and Its Inhabitants But though books about the Turf are numerous, I do not think that one has ever been written on the lines of the present volume, in which men professionally connected with racing in various capacities, and enthusiasts who have occupied themselves with the sport as devotedly as if it were their profession, discuss the branches of the subject with which they are most familiar.
