Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plain Tales From the Hills, Vol. 2 of 2 While the snaffle holds, or the long-neck stings, While the big beam tilts, or the last bell rings, While horses are horses to train and to race, Then women and wine take a second place For me - for me - While a short 'ten-three' Has a field to squander or fence to face! Song of the G. R. There are more ways of running a horse to suit your book than pulling his head off in A. the straight. Some men forget this. Understand clearly that all racing is rotten - as everything connected with losing money must be. In India, in addition to its inherent rottenness, it has the merit of being two-thirds sham; looking pretty on paper only. Every one knows every one else far too well for business purposes.
