Bound without half title in 20th-century quarter tree calf over marbled boards, spine lettered in gilt; head & tail of spine sl. chipped. Samuel Chifney, 1753-1807, was an English horsemen and the retained jockey of the Prince of Wales (later George IV). He had a distinguished career riding for the Duke of Bedford and Lord Egremont winning both the Epsom Derby and The Oaks many times before he was hired by the Prince in 1790. After only a year in the Prince's service, Chifney was involved in a scandal at Newmarket for losing his first and winning his second race on the same horse, Escape. He had placed a wager on his second race and not his first, leading the Jockey Club to conclude that he had thrown the first race deliberately in order to increase the odds and therefore his profit on the second. Chifney denied the charges but his reputation was ruined; despite inventing a bit that is still named after him today, he died in Fleet Prison after going into debt trying to market his invention. This work, which was first published c.1795, outlines not only his distinct riding and training style but also his account of the Escape scandal.…

Zustand: Near Fine. Second Edition, with half-title. Printed by D.N. Shury, Printer, Berwick Street, London. vii, [3], [11]-170 pp. Title page is a cancel. 1 vols. 8vo. Samuel Chifney (1753?-1807), inventor of the Chifney bit, was a prominent jockey and trainer, and, states the DNB, "He was long considered the best horseman of his time". In 1790 he was engaged as "rider for life" by the Prince of Wales (later George IV), and on October 20, 1791, rode the Prince's horse, Escape, at Newmarket, narrowly losing, although the Prince, not having placed a bet, was not out of pocket. The following day, under Chifney, Escape won: this time, both the Prince and Chifney had placed bets, and the Prince realized a substantial sum. Chifney was called before the Jockey Club, but nothing was proved against him. However, as the result of a resolution by the Club, the Prince sold his stud and left the turf. Chifney continued to race, but in 1806 he left Newmarket for London and never returned, dying in poverty the following year. In 1795 Chifney published this book in an attempt to clear his name and to raise money - the work of 170 pages in wrappers was priced at an extraordinary five pounds. This second edition appeared in 1804 and was still priced £5/ as stated here on the half-title (the price has been struck through ink and re-priced one pound).
