翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク Miller's Guide ： ウィキペディア英語版 Miller's Guide Miller's Guide is an Australian annual sporting publication that lists sporting world records, gives a comprehensive history of results of the major Australian horse races and provides a form guide to all entries for the Melbourne and Caulfield Cups. Initially known as J.J. Miller's Sporting Pamphlet when first published in 1875, it was later changed to J.J. Miller's Sporting Annual, and over its 134 years it has become known as ''The Miller's Guide.'' It is sometimes referred to as the Australian racing bible.〔(Seven was a lucky number for Skinny Thomas )〕 ==History== First published in 1875 the Miller's Guide is named after its founder, English born James J. Miller who was only 16 years old when he stepped off a ship in Melbourne in 1848. Miller tried his hand on the goldfields and although failing to dig up a fortune, he had been greatly impressed by the way the diggers enjoyed a wager. Shortly after returning to Melbourne he started Australia's first sweepstakes and the business boomed until the early 1880s when the law decreed that all sweeps were illegal. But Miller's main interest revolved around bookmaking. He had first started taking bets in the late 1850s and soon progressed to be one of Victoria's best known and trustworthy in what was seen then as an even more risky business than it is today. An advertisement in the 1887 pamphlet read: "Mr. J.J. Miller Has Books Open and will lay the odds on all the leading races of the current year. Gentlemen favouring him with their business may depend on the best possible prices compatible with the certainty that settling day will arrive. I may remark I have been before you for thirty years, and during the last 10 years I have received and disbursed of trust monies alone over a Half Million sterling." As a bookmaker he obviously judged the value of his customers wishing to place early bets on the Caulfield Cup and Melbourne Cups and to further their interest decided to produce a list with race form for the entries. Thus the original Miller's Pamphlet was born. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Miller's Guide」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
