What reading level is The Turf book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
— A thorn fence, 4 ft. 6 in. high.
15. — Thorn fence, 5 ft. high and 2 ft. in width, ditch on take off side 5 ft. wide and a rail in front 2 ft. high.
16.— The "Water Jump,'' 15 ft. in width.
Sandown is **a galloping course" as the term goes, but it requires jumping, especially the three fences near together at the foot of the hill. If a horse loses his balance and gets at all abroad at the first or second of these, the third is very likely to upset him, as it is stiff and he cannot go through.... At Kempton a handy horse is wanted, one or two of the jumps being rather on the turn ; and the same sort of animal is required at Hurst Park, where the fences are on the big side, and for the most part well made up. Lingfield is not a very satisfactory course, as the hill which has to be descended is too steep, and there is a bad turn, where a horse that has got out of hand is not 204 THE TURF unlikely to fall over the rails. Gatwick is rather thin and "straggly" and in the new course there is — possibly by the time these pages are published it will be correct to say was — a fence rendered very danger- ous by the way the ground slopes on the taking-off side.
