Sporting Life is a lost[1] 1918 American silent drama film directed by Maurice Tourneur.

[2][3] As described in a film magazine,[4] Lord Woodstock (Graves) is in financial difficulties and is counting on a fight and a race to reestablish his fortune.

Malet de Carteret (Craig) and his wife Olive (Kershaw) are anxious to ruin Woodstock for their own gain.

For example, the Chicago Board of Censors required a cut, in Reel 2, of the two intertitles "Please tell father you want to marry me — if he ever learns the truth" etc.

and "The night before Epsom Downs, Kitty endeavors to tell her father her pitiful secret", and, Reel 3, the intertitle "If you had left him alone he would have married me".
