All thoughts of overtaking the horses in front fled from his mind; it was the dreaded punishment that interested him most; figuratively, he humped his back against the anticipated onslaught. Redpath felt the unmistakable sign of his horse sulking; and he promptly had recourse to the jockey's usual argument. Sitting in the stand Allis saw, with a cry of dismay, Redpath's whip-hand go up.
"You ought to know that we have no peaches in Oxford," answered Mr. Malcolm. "My memory plays me false, then: I had a vision of, at least, October peaches on one occasion, and fine ones too." "Ah, you mean at old Tom Spindle's, the jockey's," answered Mr. Malcolm; "it's true, he had a bit of a brick wall, and was proud of it.
Here is old Sam Spring in a spring-cart, driven by a ploughboy in fustian, there the Earl of on a ten-pound pony, with the girths elegantly parted to prevent the saddle slipping over its head, while Miss , his jockey's daughter, dashes by him in a phaeton with a powdered footman, and the postilion in scarlet and leathers, with a badge on his arm.
They'd lay down 'n' ramble till they dropped if I lets 'em. They liked it fine! "'I'll send Pixley around to-morrow, says Banks. 'I want you to teach her the jockey's crouch when she's on her horse. "Next mawnin' I'm oilin' up the dingus when a chicken pokes her little head out the back door of the livery-stable. "'Hello, kid, she says to me. "'Hello, girlie, I says back.
She looked round with the triumphant smile of a successful unraveller of mystery. "How about Le Five O'Clock?" interposed Sir Lulworth. "It would fit either of them equally well," said Odo; "can you remember any details about the jockey's colours? That might help us." "I seem to remember a glimpse of lemon sleeves or cap, but I can't be sure," said Lola, after due reflection.
From the dim outline we could barely make out horse and rider, but we knew them both Wilomene on old Buckskin. She was riding slowly as though there were nothing left out here now but time. She wore a dark red flannel shirtwaist, a divided skirt of black wool, a suede jacket and black cap like a jockey's. There was an easy strength and self-assurance in her carriage.
First of all, however, a glass of champagne to each." After we had each taken a glass of champagne, the jockey commenced his history.

"My grandfather was a shorter, and my father was a smasher; the one was scragg'd, and the other lagg'd."
Cunning touches of the bridle, dexterous movements of body and limbs on the jockey's part, subtle checks applied so as to cramp the animal's stride all these things tend to bring about surprising results. The horse that fails dismally in one race comes out soon afterwards and wins easily in more adverse circumstances.
The cove that follows favourites, or the cove that backs a jockey's mount, the cove that makes an occasional bet when he hears of a good thing, the cove that bets regular, 'cording to a system the cove, yer know, what doubles every time or the cove that bets as the mood takes him them and all the other coves, too numerous to be mentioned, I'm glad to do business with.
Consumption the jockey's Old Man of the Sea had arrived at last. He had inherited the seeds from his father; he had assiduously cultivated them by making weight against all laws of nature; by living against laws of God and man.
