    • 1892, James Glass Bertram, A Mirror of the Turf (page 271)
      [N]othing is easier than to make sure [] that the horse selected, in the event of the public fancying him, shall be made a market horse, and be “milked” for the benefit of those interested: the losing of a race may at any time be ensured, and there are scores of “turf dairymen” who are reputed adepts in the use of the milking pail.
