Black type. Brilliant hospitality. Perth Racing invites you to experience serious horseplay at The TABtouch Masters, this year’s fourth edition of the world’s only single-track thoroughbred festival featuring a Group One race worth at least $1,000,000 on three consecutive Saturdays. More than $5,000,000 is up for grabs across the three days of The TABtouch Masters, with the Kirin-Railway Stakes, the Crown Perth-Winterbottom Stakes and the Magic Millions-Kingston Town Classic each boasting prizemoney totalling seven figures. Eleven of the 27 races that comprise The TABtouch Masters carry black type status, including the $500,000 Group Two Sky Racing- WA Guineas for three-year-old gallopers of either sex and two $100,000 Listed events restricted to mares and three-year-old RAILWAY STAKES fillies. The Jungle Mist Classic and the Jungle Dawn Classic are two of the Ascot Racing Carnival’s four black type contests - one at Group Three grade and three at Listed level - for big girls only. The fact interstate/international participation in The TABtouch Masters has increased year on year since 2016 is attributable to Perth Racing’s Equine All Stars Incentive Scheme, which not only provides connections of Railway Stakes, Winterbottom Stakes, Kingston Town Classic and WA Guineas runners with effectively risk-free shots at glory in those four highly prized races but also slashes the expenses associated with travelling a galloper to compete in one or more of the festival’s other major events. You can read about the acclaimed scheme on pages four and five. Visiting gallopers have won four of the nine Group One races staged under The TABtouch Masters banner, including every edition of the Winterbottom Stakes. Also, in three of the last four seasons, Group One victors at Ascot Racecourse have taken out Magic Millions contests at Gold Coast shortly thereafter, indicating WINTERBOTTOM STAKES chasing riches in Western Australia in November and December is a wonderful way to prepare for Queensland in January. Nominations for the Railway Stakes, the Winterbottom Stakes, the Kingston Town Classic and the WA Guineas close at 12:00 Australian Western Standard Time on Monday 14 October. Your guide to these four races is on pages six to nine inclusive, while the back page includes contact details for key Perth Racing and Racing and Wagering Western Australia personnel. The TABtouch Masters is part of Perth Racing’s commitment to iconic events that bring people together to share unique racing and non-racing experiences. Nearly 70,000 people enjoyed serious horseplay during the first three editions of The TABtouch Masters so check out this year’s travel and hospitality packages on pages 10 and 11 because you do not have to be connected to a competing galloper to experience extraordinary in Western Australia. Ascot Racecourse is where horseplay lives. Perth Racing looks KINGSTON TOWN CLASSIC forward to welcoming you to its superb riverside track for The TABtouch Masters and three days of serious horseplay. 3 EQUINE ALL STARS INCENTIVE SCHEME SUBSIDISED TRAVEL FOR VISITING HORSES Perth Racing’s acclaimed Equine All Stars Incentive Scheme subsidises the travel costs of Group One and Group Two runners from outside Western Australia and assists visiting horses in other black type races. The scheme not only provides connections of Kirin- Railway Stakes, Sky Racing-WA Guineas, Crown Perth- Winterbottom Stakes and/or Magic Millions-Kingston Town Classic runners with effectively risk-free shots at glory in those four highly prized contests but also slashes the expenses associated with travelling a galloper to compete in one or more of the other 14 black type events - four of which are restricted to mares and three-year-old fillies - during PRIZED ICON The TABtouch Masters and the last four Saturdays of the Ascot Racing Carnival. perthracing.com.au Participation in the scheme is not compulsory but, to access its benefits, a representative of the incentivised horse must enter into an agreement with Perth Racing and Racing and Wagering Western Australia. The agreement empowers RWWA to rebate agreed monies if the incentivised horse places first to 10th inclusive in the Railway Stakes, the WA Guineas, the Winterbottom Stakes and/ or the Kingston Town Classic. Rebates do not apply to other races but the scheme delivers fewer benefits to incentivised horses which do not run in the Railway Stakes, the WA Guineas, the Winterbottom Stakes and/or the Kingston Town Classic.

    Charles King He Was the Evolution of a Military Horse-Trade,--One of Those

    Van Charles King He was the evolution of a military horse-trade,--one of those periodical swappings required of his dragoons by Uncle Sam on those rare occasions when a regiment that has been dry-rotting half a decade in Arizona is at last relieved by one from the Plains. How it happened that we of the Fifth should have kept him from the clutches of those sharp horse-fanciers of the Sixth is more than I know. Regimental tradition had it that we got him from the Third Cavalry when it came our turn to go into exile in 1871. He was the victim of some temporary malady at the time,--one of those multitudinous ills to which horse-flesh is heir,--or he never would have come to us. It was simply impossible that anybody who knew anything about horses should trade off such a promising young racer so long as there remained an unpledged pay-account in the officers' mess. Possibly the arid climate of Arizona had disagreed with him and he had gone amiss, as would the mechanism of some of the best watches in the regiment, unable to stand the strain of anything so hot and high and dry. Possibly the Third was so overjoyed at getting out of Arizona on any terms that they would gladly have left their eye-teeth in pawn. Whatever may have been the cause, the transfer was an accomplished fact, and Van was one of some seven hundred quadrupeds, of greater or less value, which became the property of the Fifth Regiment of Cavalry, U.S.A., in lawful exchange for a like number of chargers left in the stables along the recently-built Union Pacific to await the coming of their new riders from the distant West.

    Early History of Thoroughbred Horses in Virginia (1730-1865)

    Early History of Thoroughbred Horses in Virginia (1730-1865) Old Capitol at Williamsburg with Guests shown on Horseback and in a Horse-drawn Carriage Virginia History Series #11-08 © 2008 First Horse Races in North America/Virginia (1665/1674) The first race-course in North America was built on the Salisbury Plains (now known as the Hempstead Plains) of Long Island, New York in 1665. The present site of Belmont Park is on the Western edge of the Hempstead Plains. In 1665, the first horse racing meet in North America was held at this race-course called “Newmarket” after the famous track in England. These early races were match events between two or three horses and were run in heats at a distance of 3 or 4 miles; a horse had to complete in at least two heats to be judged the winner. By the mid-18th century, single, "dash" races of a mile or so were the norm. Virginia's partnership with horses began back in 1610 with the arrival of the first horses to the Virginia colonies. Forward thinking Virginia colonists began to improve upon the speed of these short stocky horses by introducing some of the best early imports from England into their local bloodlines. Horse racing has always been popular in Virginia, especially during Colonial times when one-on-one matches took place down village streets, country lanes and across level pastures. Some historians claim that the first American Horse races were held near Richmond in Enrico County (now Henrico County), Virginia, in 1674. A Match Race at Tucker’s Quarter Paths – painting by Sam Savitt Early Racing in America Boston vs Fashion (The Great Match Race) Importation of Thoroughbreds into America The first Thoroughbred horse imported into the American Colonies was Bulle Rock (GB), who was imported in 1730 by Samuel Gist of Hanover County, Virginia.

EDITOR'S PREFACE. Although the title page of this book is perhaps a sufficient preface, a word as to its origin and prepara- tion is due the reader. For pubUshing the book no apology is required. Whether it will till a " long-felt want" or not is for the public to decide; but that the want exists no one can doubt. AVhtit the Palo Alto system of training has accom- plished is the best guarantee of its excellence. The system under which are developed animals to break the world's record at all ages, from one year old to four years old, speaks for itself.
