Publication: The International Horse Agency and Exchange, Ltd, 1909, London

First edition. Pseudonym of William Allison (1851-1925). Errata slip bound-in at page 1. Some inked notations in a neat hand to the margins of a few pages, margins of pages 78-84 are soiled, else a very good, bright copy. A mystery and expose of the tricks and "behind-the-scene secrets of horse racing. Published after "Silver Blaze" and long before Dick Francis. William Allison completed for publication Bruce Lowe's Breeding Race Horses By The Figure System in 1895, and The British Thoroughbred Horse in 1901, so he knows the subject quite well.
