Synopsis
Excerpt from The Post and the Paddock
Author has here endeavoured to blend, with a very large amount of new matter, into a Turf manual, recently appeared, under two distinct titles, in T fie Sporting Review. It has been his wish to make it as little as possible a mere invoice of men, horses, or races; and hence, even at the risk of disturbing the context, he has often gladly turned aside to pick up.
