of horses in training the supporters of the Turf will be looking for animals to provide them with the undoubted thrill of winning races at the right time.
But here is something I would like to believe that the public appreciated at its true value. All concerned with racing would benefit if people realised the fact that a pony is not a machine.
Just because a pony is feeling fit on his first outing and the luck of the race goes his way and he is able to win is no reason. to accuse him of being a rogue or his jockey of being incompetent or even worse if he does not happen to win the second time ho appears on a racecourse,
A Rest After Winning
OWNERS, trainers, and jockeys are all anxious to win as many races as possible. Naturally, they cannot. always hope or even expect to do so.
At this time of the season trainers are particularly anxious to win.quickly so as to find some line of form by which to judge the other ponies in their stables and to know how good or how backward they are.
Those ponies which will be running to-day, for instance, will be expected to win more races later on in the season. They have to earn their keep; and it is impossible to maintain a pony at concert pitch throughout the season.
Remember, a pony has to be tremendously fit, and the job of getting him so entails a great deal of clever, patient treatment on the part of his trainer and lot of exacting work on the part of the pony-work that tests him right up to his capacity.
When a pony is really fit he lia and is taken through the
