Förlagets beskrivning
Excerpt from A Mirror of the Turf or the Machinery of Horse-Racing Revealed, Showing the Sport of Kings as It Is to-Day Sporting writers, when turf matters are being considered, and the sordid motives of the majority of those who frequent racecourses and other turf resorts are being called in question, cry out loudly about the unfairness of attacking the turf, and allowing the more gigantic gambling of which the Stock Exchange is the theatre to escape censure. But as the' proverb says, two blacks will never make one white; besides, this book is not an attack on horse racing, it is simply, as its title indicates, a mirror Of the turf. It is the Sport of Kings only which is treated of in the following pages; the author willingly leaves the wide subject of commercial morality or immorality, to be treated by other pens.
