“You've got to
be fussy
over
horses..
Fussy about their training
-fussy about who rides them. Personally I find it's the only way. For instance, I don't much care to lead in a lucky winner; but it gives me the rarest pleasure to watch any thoroughbred ridden to a faultless victory.
In the same way I appreciate the good judgment used in the making
of White Horse Whisky. I've yet to discover a richer flavour with a finer frag- rance, a silkier smoothness with a more heartening glow. Till I do, I shall in- sist on White Horse."
