The Racing Times

Mist's Weekly Journal -- 6 November 1725

Gloucester, Nov. 1: We had very good Diversion this day upon Snow-Hill-Course, between two in that Neighbourhood; the one of which rode a Bullock, which was to trot, the other a Mare, to pace a Mile, for ten Guineas.

Neither of them had either Bridle, Saddle, or Whip; all jockeying was allowed; the Concourse was very great, and the Entertainment answer’d Expectation.
