What Our Customers Say...
Description
Leather Binding, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce
French. Very scarce work. The official horse racing calendar for France, published under the auspices of the Society for the Encouragement of the Improvement of Horse Breeds in France. With chapters on race locations, racing committees, rules for betting, stud farms, prizes offered in Paris and Chantilly, statistical observations, a list of previous winners, owner colours, trainers, and more. The "Society for the Encouragement of the Improvement of Horse Breeds in France," now known as France Galop, was founded in 1833 by twelve friends who were concerned about the declining state of French horse breeds. Their goal was to improve these breeds and contribute to the country's wealth, as well as organizing horse racing, with the first races held in 1834.
