Description
Excerpt from My Kingdom for a Horse! Yorkshire, Rugby, Balliol, the Bar, Bloodstock and Journalistic Recollections
Sister had preserved practically all the letters I ever wrote to her in young days has led me to reconsider the position, for these letters contain-a great deal of matter which may prove Of general interest if only I can dis criminate among them rightly, and without thought of myself, to whom they are all interesting.
At the very outset I am going to give the opponents of racing what they may think chapter and verse as proof conclusive Of the disastrous in?uence Of the love of horses on a promising career. Later on, I shall Show that all such inferences are entirely fallacious but for the moment I make them a present of the following brief record.
