Description

Explore the hidden social world of horse racing with The Racing Game by Routledge. This study goes beyond the surface spectacle to examine the diverse community that makes up race track society.

Readers gain a deep understanding of the everyday activities, objectives, and strategies used by those whose lives revolve around track proceedings. The narrative tracks a wide spectrum of participants, from track owners and stable boys to law enforcers and those who break the law. This book provides a detailed look at how individuals compete with chance and one another within this unique environment. It is an essential read for those interested in the social dynamics and human behaviors found within specialized subcultures.
