PREFACE TO THE FIFTH 

 EDITION 



I HAVE carefully revised the present edition and have 

 made several additions and corrections, which were 

 suggested by the experience I had gained during three 

 years' training and horse dealing in Calcutta and four 

 years' travelling through Egypt, India, Ceylon, China, 

 South Africa and other countries on horse-breaking 

 expeditions, since the previous edition had appeared. 

 The racing records, weights for age and class, etc., have 

 been brought up to date as far as possible.
