Synopsis
Excerpt from Racing Reminiscences and Experiences of the Turf, Vol. 1 of 2
One other object I have had in view: to pre serve a record of the facts connected with an action which I felt it my duty to bring against a nobleman who had traduced my character. The verdict was in my favour, as it was inevitable it must be; but the Stewards of the Jockey Club, who sat as Arbitrators, failed to award me damages which would have marked the magnitude of the wrong I suffered, and I have felt bound therefore to vindicate myself by printing as an Appendix a report of the trial. I regret its length if the reader finds it long; but for reasons which I state in the remarks preceding it I could not make it shorter.
