You want some? !!!
I touched a bit on horse racing in my own thesis…more so on the involvement of magistrates in local race meetings. I think I’m right in saying a lot of official positions in the sport, like people who do the weighing and enforcing rules, The names of these roles all stem from magisterial origins. But there would have been multiple race meetings per county and not just in bigger areas either. Depended on who the local bigwig was.
