Every game, like every business, has its black-market players. In the Stock Exchange defaulters jostle men of purest minds. In merchants' warehouses occasional commercial sharping discredits the blunt honesty which commonly prevails. In Temperance societies are dissembling topers, and even in the Church graceless hypocrites. But the racecourse, though some of the most honourable men and generous souls in every community figure prominently upon it, attracts to it also too many of those despicable characters of whom the types are far worse than the ever-memorable Jubilee Player and the noble Ailesbury.

Bookmakers represent a callous and self-centred class. They are consumed with one idea and to have that realised they would stoop to every conceivable form of corruption. Many horses are have been doped and jockeys squared, and many lives ruined through the influence of bookmakers.
