Description
There is only one activity worthy tobe called purely and simply “Racing”: the noble striving of thoroughbred animals, the one and only Sport of Kings – Horse Racing. All other forms require qualification, as in greyhound racing, motor racing, camel racing, egg and spoon racing. With Racing you are not concerned with such menial fodder as the dogs, dominoes, or donkey derbies, but the highest possible: the eternal pursuit of the Big Win. In reality The Turf’s just the same as the rest – without bettingit simply wouldn’t exist. But keep this to yourself, and remember when it concerns horses you can get away with calling it ‘Investment’.
Racing covers two very distinct sporting pursuits run under very different rules. The novice must first be able to separate On the Flat from Over the Sticks.
