sports wheel Horse rocings long history By ED HARPER fhay Horse racing is probably one of the most popular sports in the world and one of the oldest Horse racing as public exhibition originated in rm It as saddle horse contest intheZTirdftlympics The distance wasfour miles Horse racing in England dates back as far as 1174 group of sportsmen using horses for saddle purposes became in volved in friendly argument as to which was the best rider and hieh owned the fastest horse match race at sprinv ting distance was set up over an open field When the alihis of the losers had been sifted it was found that they felt that too much stress had been placed upon speed and that it should be speed plus endurance Another race was arranged and the course was four miles hich for many centuries afterwards was the standard distance for horse race Ext ITEI ITEREST These private races excited so much interest that the horsemen were prevailed upon to engage in matches on fete days or at fairs and carnivals lnti 1312 they raced merely for the glory of it But in that year the promoter of the fair in fhester England which was well established racing centre gave wooden hall festooned with flowers as prre tothewinner thofirst of the racing trophies ln 1340 silver ball was substituted Its value was one dollar In 1m some places became very extravagant and awarded gold balls or rathci gold shells worth about $11 In thii the first silver plate was given in 1710 the first gold cup was the prize and 17H was the year when horses raced for cash prize for the first time in turf history In Hm King James imported an Arabian stallion for racing He wasnt much as race horse but became great success as stud and sirml many of the horses that later were in the royal stable He was perhaps the first pure Ara hiaii in England The bliindering of silversiiiith in 16th brought about the awarding of three pries for race practice carried on until this day The big race of the year was to be held at thester and Robert Ambrye the sheriff was to put up the prie He ordered silver ball but ltjttlOtI it as being of lil ferior workmanship The silversmitb made another try lt and once again Ambrye was not content Iluf the third ball suited him THREE SILVER HALLS in race day Ambryc found himself in possession of three silver balls What to do He thought about it and came up with the idea that the best ball would go to the winner the next best for second place and the most inferior to the horse which placed third The widowed Queen Anne of England 1170217141 originated the sweepstakes idea racing for cash award Whilst her royal husband King fharlcst was alive she had small string of racers but took no active part in the sport winch by that time had taken firm hold upon the English Hut upon ascending the throne she quickly gave royal ap proval to the sport encouraged it and ran her horses in the important contests ol Richard Nicolls who arrived in America in 1664 as the first English Governor of New York called meeting in Hcmpstiad Long Island in February lflilfi for the purpose of establishing the sport of horse racing in America ol Nitoils iised an almost identical expression as the horsemen of today when he stated at the meeting in 166 These races shall not be so much for the divertiscincnt of youth as for encouraging the betterment of the breed of horses which
