What reading level is The English Turf a Record of Horses And Courses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Doncaster Town Moor is eminently suitable for these long races, and it is satisfactory to note that here, at all events, the five-furlong sprint is in a minority.
The value of the stakes in 1900 works out as follows : On Tuesday, seven races, worth 3, 799 ; on Wednesday, six races, worth 7, 135 ; on Thursday, seven races, worth 2, 630; on Friday, six; races, worth 3, 620. Total, 17, 184.
YORK York Races have been in existence certainly for 167 years, and possibly the fixtures do not hold so hig...h a place as they did a hundred years ago, though the August Meeting on the Knavesmire is still an important and popular gathering, and its Ebor Handicap attracts thousands upon thousands of visitors. According to Turf historians, York Races during the eighteenth century were attended by all the great county families, whose coaches were drawn up in a long line beside the course, and who supported the races by running horses or giving money to be run for. These functions appear to have been occasions of great state and magnifi- cence, and we are told that the noblemen of the district vied with each other in the splendour of their appointments, THE YORKSHIRE MEETINGS 135 that most of the carriages were drawn by six horses apiece, that outriders accompanied them, and also that partisanship ran high amongst the owners of the horses.
