Newmarket and Arabia: An Examination of the Descent of Racers and Coursers is a book written by Roger D. Upton and originally published in 1873. The book explores the history and lineage of horse racing and coursing, with a particular focus on the Arabian horse and its influence on the breeding of racehorses in England. Upton analyzes the pedigrees of famous racehorses from the Newmarket stables and traces their ancestry back to Arabian horses, arguing that the Arabian breed played a crucial role in the development of the modern Thoroughbred. The book also includes illustrations of notable horses and their lineage, as well as discussions of breeding practices and the importance of selecting superior bloodlines. Overall, Newmarket and Arabia provides a comprehensive look at the history and evolution of horse racing and coursing, and sheds light on the role of the Arabian horse in shaping this beloved sport.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
