Beyond the parliamentary rules and regulations, the author includes a table of age and weight standards for horses in training, the articles and orders of the Jockey Club, forms for horse owners to use in claiming stakes or entrance fees, and even an explanation and example of the process owners must go through to receive The King's Plate, a valuable prize awarded to the winner of a horse race.
