They had gone out together towards Umballa racecourse.
Kim by Kipling, Rudyard View in context
If he had reappeared he could not have shown his face in Pall Mall, or on the racecourses, and every moment of his life would be full of humiliations and bitterness.
A Millionaire of Yesterday by Oppenheim, E. Phillips View in context
I will take no horses back with me to Ithaca, but will leave them to adorn your own stables, for you have much flat ground in your kingdom where lotus thrives, as also meadow-sweet and wheat and barley, and oats with their white and spreading ears; whereas in Ithaca we have neither open fields nor racecourses, and the country is more fit for goats than horses, and I like it the better for that.
The Odyssey by Homer View in context
