Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, published in 1895, explores new legislation designed to prevent betting and other vices associated with horse racing. This legislation attempted to clean up racing by regulating its conduct, and by doing away with betting privileges it sought to prevent organizers from profiting from such practices. The book discusses how the imposition of a 5% tax on profits and a $5,000 fee to cover the cost of a special commission established to oversee racing would negatively impact racing associations. The author argues this would lead to less money being available for prize money, potentially causing racing associations to fail and the standard of racing, and the value of horses, to decline as a result. The bookâs historical perspective and examination of the financial implications of this new legislation make it an important text for understanding the challenges faced by racing associations at the end of the nineteenth century.
