Orders of the Jockey Club 1770
In October 1770 at a meeting of Jockey Club Members a further list of racing colours associated with each owner was issued, reinforcing some issued in 1762 as well as some new ones. |
For the greater conveniency of distinguishing the horses in running, as also the prevention of disputes arising from not knowing the colours worn by each rider, the under-written gentlemen have come to the agreement of having their colours annexed to the following names, worn by their respective riders. |
The above regulation to take place at the Second October Meeting at Newmarket in 1770. The Stewards therefore hope, in the name of the Jockey Club, that the Gentlemen will take care that their riders are provided by that time with dresses accordingly. |
