KACING IN INDIA. 



RACING MEN AND HOESES ON FORMING A USEFUL STABLE THE 

 STYLE OF RACE-HORSE SUITED TO INDIA THE DIFFERENT CLASSES 

 AND THEIR RESPECTIVE FORM TIMING RECORDS OF FAST TIMES. 



IN England, racing is almost entirely confined to 

 professionals, and to a few moneyed men, who can 

 afford to run horses for amusement, just as others go 

 in for yachting, hunting, or shooting, caving little for 

 the cost, as long as they get sufficient excitement out 

 of the particular sport they pursue. There, racing 

 is such a complete business, and its attendant expenses 

 are so heavy, that a man of moderate means cannot, 

 with any safety, follow it, unless he adopts it as his 

 profession. In India, the small amount of public 

 money and limited speculation render the turf, as a 

 rule, too precarious a means of living, except in the 

 case of jockeys and trainers. Few of the latter find 

 training pays, unless they be light enough to earn their 

 winning and losing mounts on the horses of which 

 they have charge.
