Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Merry Gee-Gee: How to Breed, Break, and Ride Him For'ard Away; And the Noble Art of Backing Winners on the Turf
It's wonderful how frequently the whole bent of one's life from a given time seems turned by a mere thread, and deviates into what seemed improb able channels; and certainly, if that beggar hadn't settled me yesterday, I should not at this moment be budding into a real embryo author.

Excerpt from The Merry Gee-Gee: How to Breed, Break, and Ride Him For'ard Away; And the Noble Art of Backing Winners on the Turf
Returning home from Newmarket the other evening after a particularly unsuccessful week, and being in an extra-contemplative mood, the thought recurred to me, as It had so often done before, that I would, by one vehement resolve - a real copper-bottomed, armour-plated, life-and-death resolution - bind myself never to back another horse In a race.
