From Publisher:

Thoroughbreds cannot speak, and yet you will hear about 'talking horses'. Racing is famously the 'sport of kings', and yet its discourse is full of references to 'gaffs', 'rags' and 'rogues'. Punters spend all day trying to 'get on', and then try to 'get out' in the 'lucky last'. Horseracing generates as much talk, and certainly as much paper, as any other popular pastime. No other pursuit except finance has a devoted national paper to digest each morning. Its discourse can be euphemistic or direct, affected or colloquial, but very rarely dull.
