Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of Samuel Chifney, a jockey who rode for the Prince of Wales during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The author, Samuel Chifney himself, aims to defend his reputation, which he believes has been unjustly tarnished by rumors accusing him of intentionally losing races for the Prince. He reveals a fascinating and often-overlooked world of horse racing, detailing his personal experiences and the dynamics within the Princeââ â¢s racing stable. Chifney recounts his interactions with the Prince and the Princeââ â¢s advisors, including the controversial figures of Warwick Lake and Frank Neale. He reveals a complex web of personal relationships, rivalries, and questionable business practices that influenced racing outcomes. Chifneyââ â¢s account sheds light on the pressures, expectations, and moral dilemmas that often plagued those involved in the sport during this era. Through his detailed narrative, the author challenges the notion of "intentional losing" as a simple act of deceit. Instead, he reveals a more nuanced perspective, where jockeying for position, strategic maneuvering, and the intricacies of horse management could all impact a raceââ â¢s outcome. The bookââ â¢s insights offer a unique perspective on the culture of early 19th-century horse racing and demonstrate the need to consider the complex factors behind what often appears to be straightforward sporting competition. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
