Racing Calendar (1775)
John Cheny published the first calendar in 1727, titled Historical List, and maintained annual publication until his death in 1751.[1] Several calendars appeared, by various publishers.[2]
In 1773 the periodical was taken over and published by James Weatherby, who in 1770 had been appointed as Keeper of the Match Book for the Jockey Club.[2][3] Weatherbys continued to own and publish the calendar until 1902 when the Jockey Club finally purchased it.[4]
