It is obvious to anyone, who gives the subject one minu's's consideratut, that as long as the Turf is conducted on the present lines incidents of the nature revealed in this caso are inevitabla. Encing is an expensive hobby. It was stated in this case that the training fess of one horae were £2 10%. per week. With jockers' fees, expense of travelling, entrance fees for a reasonable number of nicer, a racehore cannot cont moch under £300's year.
