I have noticed for a long time this question appearing in different papers devoted to equine matters : " Where can I buy a book which teaches how to condition, develop, train and drive a trotter or pacer ?'' The answer usually is, "There is none that teaches the art." As the inquirer is usually some one that is making a small beginning or venture in the breed- ing line, and cannot afford to place their stock in the hands of a first-class trainer for development, it has occurred to me that it would be a kindness to many thousand small breeders to tell them in plain horse talk all that is known, and all that I have learned in my thirty years' experience in the stable and on the track, filled in with illustrations of certain points which I wish to impress by personal experiences with certain horses which I have handled and driven in races through the Grand Circuit and elsewhere. It has been twenty-one years since any work of this kind has been attempted, and in that time the changes have been such that the methods then in use have become obsolete and have been retired to " inoccuous desuetude." There has been such an advance and improvement over the days of Hiram Woodruff, that if he were now on earth he would hardly rec- ognize his loved art, the improvement has been so great. I do not expect this work will be above criticism as a literary production, as that is not in my line, but I do mean its horse talk to be comprehensive, instructive, and adapted to those readers whom I expect will profit by its perusal. Any man that has horses in training can by studying this work see that they are properly handled, and if necessary can oversee and direct their preparation. This work will also con- tain the 2:30 list complete up to Jan. 1st, 1889, as I believe this work will go into the hands of many farmers who would never see it in any other book. A. J. FEEK, Jan. 1st, 1889. Syracuse, N. Y. Every Man His Own Trainer. CHAPTER I. The reasons why I decided to write this book, in addi- tion to what I have said in the introductory why I publish this work, I will say that I could spend nearly all my time answering questions in regard to this subject. A very inti- mate friend will call at my house, and, after a heartfelt greet- ing and hand grasp, will say Jack, (remember this gentleman is an intimate friend), he has passed the formality of Mr. Peek; Jack, what shall I do to get my trotter going? And. as I love to spend my time with my friends, I give him hours in inquiring into the characteristics and peculiarities of his horse, and endeavoring to give him advice which will bring his probably recent purchase to the front, and thereby benefit him financially, but does not buy oats for my horses. After my friend has bowed himself out, I start for my stable, and, as I pass around the first street corner I meet a gentleman who cordially grasps my hand and says, ''How do you do, Mr. Feek ? I have been waiting to see you for several days." It maybe Judge R. or Bank President D., who I am bound to treat with courtesy. He goes on to say the man he has employed in his stables says his horses want such and such work, and asks me what I think of it. I of course am obliging, and another half hour is gone without profit. Well I manage to get to the street on which my stable is situated, and I meet an amateur trainer driving out of the park, who has been working a horse, and he appears lame. I am stopped by my would-be brother trainer and asked to look his horse over to locate the trouble. I do so because this man may turn out well and I may meet him on the bat- tle-field of the ring, where a friend is sometimes needed to help the slowest horse around the upper turn, in order that my colors may come first to the wire. When I get to the stable I find a farmer or his son wait- EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 5 ing for me, who came in early to inquire when they better be- gin working that trotting colt. I find a horse hitched under the shed, who has been brought to me for advice about shoeing, as it is well known that I superintend the shoeing of my own horses in every par- ticular; if I can find a smith that will do as I direct, if not, I hire one myself. Well, when I have obliged every one, I am permitted to work my own horses for a short time, and after the necessary lessons and business of the day are over I may receive a tele- gram from some prominent Western or Eastern horseman who is on his way through or changing cars at Syracuse, and desires me to meet him at an evening train. I of course wish to please him, because I may be in his town next week buying a horse, or may be attending a meeting of which he is Secretary or President. Sometimes it is only a social re- union he desires; more often he has some horse he wants to consult me about who has peculiarities that he thinks I may overcome, and thereby increase the value of his stock. I say Mr. F. or Mr. E., " You have competent trainers, and those who have a National reputation in your town, why don't you employ them ?" " Well, Mr. Feek, I will tell you, Mr. S. or Mr. B. cannot be beat on the track, to get in the sulky and drive a race, but they lack skill and judgment in putting in condition and preliminary working of colts and aged horses to get them going. You have the reputation of taking the raw material and bringing it to the front, and I am going to send you my colt anyway." I say "All right; I have got plenty of feed and a blackmith shop, and I will try and bear out my reputation.'' After a lunch at the Leland, we part at the cry " All aboard '' from the conductor. This work is intended to answer all necessary questions and to instruct amateurs in the business, so they may have at least moderate success and profit. There is the same assured success in this as in any business to those who are willing to work and wait. A few will draw a capital prize ; no one can 6 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. tell who will be the lucky one ; a trial is the only test. King of the Sulky is a cognomen vouchsafed to only a few. You may be a Marvin, a McCarthy, Turner, Splan, Murphy, Van Ness, Golden, or Doble. A great General like Grant had to be de- veloped by circumstances, so has a great driver like one of the above. Be satisfied if you are considered a competent and trusty trainer among the great army of drivers. CHAPTER II, The Weanling Colt— Halter Breaking— Should Be Well Bred- Commencing to Develop Speed— Leading with Halter — Work- ing with a Saddle Horse, &c. I propose to take the colt at four months' old, halter break it, and bring it step by step from a weanling to the mature campaigner, willing and able to earn his oats, besides paying off the mortgage on the old farm. In the first place we will suppose that the reader has some material to work upon ; his colt has some expectation of speed by inheritance, either through his sire or dam — if through both, all the better. I am not in this work going to advocate any particular strain of blood or family, but I wish to impress the fact, that the better you breed the more cer- tain the result. The best end of the problem is always the mother ; she it is that impresses the main characteristics upon her sons and daughters, grandsons and granddaughters, and when one queen of the harem is recognized by horsemen, her progeny sell for fabulous sums ; for instance, Green Mountain Maid, by Harry Clay, produced foals which sold, or offers made which were refused, to the amount of $244,000 ; a yearl- ing son has recently been sold for $12,500. Another dam, Beautiful Belle, by The Moor, produces foals which are worth a King's ransom ; one three-year-old son sold at auction for $51 000, and a weanling for $12,000, and Miss Russell, Mid- night and VVaterwitch, by Pilot, Jr., produces foals that are known by every child in the land, some of which are beyond purchase price, namely, Maud S., 2:08|, and Jay Eye See, 2:10. These are only a few instances of the many hundred producing dams ; so I say look well to the mare you breed from. Stint the best mare you have, or can afford to buy, to the best stallion within your reach. Do not be afraid if the EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. fee is fifty or one hundred dollars, in the end it is cheaper than a service fee for nothing, or from some inferior horse whose service fee can be obtained for ten or fifteen dollars. Pedigree is closely looked into these days, and the popu- lar and fashionably bred stock is what brings the money. Why? Because it has been demonstrated that it became popular because that blood could trot to the front in fast time, and that is what wealthy gentlemen are looking for. To show how certain are the results when certain rules are followed, I will mention an advertisement I saw for the sale of certain stock. The owner agreed that if any purchase did not enter the 2:30 list, after a certain amount of training, the purchase money need not be paid. The stock was all the produce of dams who had records below 2:20, and had already proved themselves producers. The sires were trotters ; they also had representatives in the magic circle, and their sires also had first honors. We will suppose again that you have been wise and have a first class four months' old foal at its mother's side ready to wean. Put a five-ring leather halter upon him with a leather stale and let him run about with it on, the stale or lead strap dangling, and he will virtually halter break himself. When you approach the colt take hold of the halter strap carefully, if he flies back ease away on him, if he comes up to you treat him kindly, caress him and talk to him ; do not bother him too long at one time, but be kind to him at all times. It would be well to have an apple or piece of sugar in your hand to give him, in fact, kindness will do more for one of the horse kind than brute force will. You will be surprised how short a time and little trouble it takes to teach a young colt what you wish him to do. When he is nicely halter broken and weaned, then it remains for the owner to say whether he will now commence to develop his speed. Some prefer early development, others prefer to wait for more mature years, and say early develop- ment means early decay, and I will wait and have a fast horse EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER 9 instead of a fast colt and a broken down, aged horse ; I will wait until he is about two years old. In the first place, when the colt is taken from his mother, he should be well fed. In my opinion there is more injury done a weanling foal by not feeding than overfeeding; he should be kept in a nice, warm box stall, and fed what good hay he can eat and from four to six quarts of oats per day. He is yet too young to bit, and if you want to develop speed in the youngster make a bridle of the halter, pass the halter strap over the neck and tie into lead ring on the other side ; take the colt close up to the head by the left hand, laying the right elbow over the colt's shoulder and taking hold of the rein on the off side ; take a whip in the right hand, holding it over the shoulder, turned backward toward the hips — in that way the colt is kept going straight ahead. Great care should be taken to not put any more weight on the colt's back than the weight of the arm. This work should be done by a light- handed, nimble footed boy or young man, so as not to make the colt do all the work. A good way is to lead the colt a short distance from the stable in which he is kept, then turn him around carefully, and start him back to the stable as fast as he will go easily. This you might do two or three times in succession, but be very careful not to be harsh with him. If he is dull and obstinate, don't force him with the whip or pulling, but put him away until the next day, as horses, like people, do not feel each day alike, and you can do a great amount of harm to a colt by attempting to force him in the commencement of his education. If the colt is playful, capers, and runs, don't set him back on his haunches or break his neck, but go up the road again with him and let him know by kindness what you want of him, and in a very few days, with such lessons, if he has any natural speed he will show it; but, of course, this treatment will improve a lunk head if fol- lowed up any length of time. Of course the well-bred will develop and improve much faster than the cold-blooded one. These lessons may be IO EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. practiced two or three times a week, according to the con- dition and ability of the colt. When he is seven or eight months old, and has developed enough speed to warrant the supposition that he is worth training as a yearling, slip a light bridle on him with a bit easy and loose in his mouth (a leather bit is best), and leave it on him, in the stall, one hour each day. In that way he gets used to the bit and does not fight it. In a few days put on an easy check, with biting rig, a light surcingle will do with crouper attached of £ood length, so as not to draw too tight under the tail, as that would irritate him. I have often seen trouble with aged horses for this reason, and an ordinary observer would not know what was the cause of their kicking or attempting to kick. Do not leave it on him at first over fifteen or twenty minutes at a time ; do not get out of his sight, keep within reach, so that if he gets nervous or angry, a few strokes of the hand or a few kind words may soothe him. The first lesson should be short, in fact all of them should be, but repeated often. In due season put on a pair of lines of good length, and drive the colt with them until they learn what the bit is in the mouth for. Teach them to know what the word '' Whoa '' means, also to go ahead of you freely and rein handily first to the right and them to the left. Select a good saddle horse that is well broken and easily controlled, is quick and active, let your man get on the saddle horse, take the lines of the colt and a whip in your hand and start your colt off moderately ; first on a walk, until he gets used to it and finds out what you want ; then move him off on a jog ; this ma)' be increased daily until you have reached the limit of his speed. Being sure not to go far enough to tire the colt, so he will begin to come back to you of his own ac- cord. Keep him fresh and anxious to go. In this way you can develop a wonderful amount of speed and will do your colt no harm, as he has no load to carry or weight to draw. The horse galloping along behind him stimulates and en- EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. II courages him, and with your lines you help to steady him, keeping him on a trot, and your whip, being in your hand in his sight, helps you to manage him, as the natural instinct of the horse is to be afraid of the whip to a certain extent ; do not use it on him more than a light tap, as it is a bad plan to get them excessively afraid of it. There are exceptions, as in the case of a high spirited, nervous animal, where the whip is not needed, but in most cases colts need something to scare them along, and need a little urging to make them show their natural ability. Great care should be taken to not force the colt beyond his natural speed and strength. Our natural anxiety for improvement is so great that we are apt to ask too much of a youngster, expecting as much speed in one week as we ought to develop in a month. You should watch the colt carefully to see that he is not hitting himself, as eight out of every ten when they com- mence to trot will hit the coronet of the hind foot against the front foot, sufficient to make it sore, even before they are shod, and they will be afraid to trot. You should not do much with a colt in the way of developing speed without using on him tips or a light shoe, in either case tip or shoe not to weigh over three or four ounces. Put on as described in the next chapter. With these on you can attach a light toe or scalping boot on the hind foot, which might save you three or four months 1 let up caused by hitting and frightening the colt. With colts that are healthy and strong, you can give them a little short and sharp work every day, and they will improve under it, while others will only stand such work every other day, perhaps twice a week will be sufficient for some, and you would see more improvement at the end of three months than you would if you gave them work every day. In all cases of handling colts it requires discretion and ability in the trainer to get the best results, as you may have the best colt every foaled and spoil him by ignorance and 12 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. abuse. But if you follow these instructions you will not make many mistakes, and if your colt has any ability you will certainly develop more or less speed and do your colt no harm, unless by an unavoidable accident, which is liable to happen under any circumstances. I want to impress this- fact on the mind of the reader, that to get the best results the colt or horse must have perfect confidence in his trainer, and that can only be obtained by kindness and good treatment under all circumstances. No man is fit to handle colts or horses unless he has per- fect control of his temper, for you can do much more with coaxing than you can with harsh treatment, for when an ani- mal becomes afraid of his trainer he loses confidence and will not improve in that man's hands. This applies to aged horses as well as colts. CHAPTER III. Hitch the Colt First Time Double — When to Hitch Single— Kick- ing Strap— His Work Single — Put on Light Shoes or Tips — How to Put on Tips— Tips Necessary Behind to Attach Toe Boots. After you have worked your colt for some time with the saddle horse and desire to hitch him to a cart, it would be well to give him his first lessons hitched double with another horse, especially if he is of high mettle and spirited — (this applies to colts of any age). Hitch him first one day on the near and the next day on the off side ; that keeps their mouth straight and accustoms them to the pole on either side ; they do not then get the habit of driving all on one rein. If you drive them only on one side, when they are hitched single they are apt to have the one-line habit, and it is hard to break them of it. When you have driven him enough double and he be- comes waywised and handy and you want to commence driv- ing him single, it would be well as you come in from driving him double to change the double for a single harness and hitch him right up to your break cart, as he has probably by this time got the wire edge and play out of him, and he will go right off without any trouble. In hitching single use for the first few times a kick strap, as it is usually called, for safety only ; but I want to say right here, that the kicking strap in many cases does more harm than good, causing an injury to the horse by not being prop- erly adjusted. If it is put on too close to the roots of the tail, when the horse raises his tail it may catch the skin be- tween the strap and crouper and cause him to scringe as it hurts, and he will attempt to kick, which he would never have thought of if it had not been for the offensive strap. If it is put too far in front it is no preventative, if he attempts 14 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. to kick. It should be put on about half way between the roots of the tail and coupling", and fastened there so as to keep it in its place ; then buckle it loosely to the shafts of your break cart, so as to cause no unpleasant sensations when the colt starts to move. Give him now a short drive, not over two miles, in many cases one mile would be better. It will be necessary for peo- ple to use their own judgment in a measure, as my experience is that many a colt has been spoiled by his being a little fractious, and his owner says, I will give him enough to take it out of him. He does take it out of him, and it never returns to the colt, and many times we get the same result with an aged horse. In fact there is only one way it ever will return, and many times that fails — that is you must give him a long let up and run to grass. It will be better to hitch them twice, or even three times in one day and make the drives short, and you will find you will have a sound and a better horse when you get him broken. If when he is hitched he feels sharp and wants to go, let him move off at a good smart gait, don't hold him in and irritate him or make his mouth sore by pulling him. Don't keep him in harness long enough to get tired ; bring him in while he has something left in him ; it will take a little more time to break a colt in this way, but he has re- ceived his education without injury or a broken heart. Great care should be taken that they do not get foot- sore by driving. If the toes begin to break up, or their feet begin to get tender, put on a light shoe or a tip. If a heavy shoe is used the colt is liable to get leg weary and hit himself. I favor tips on colts properly put on, as a protection around the toe is all that is necessary for a colt or horse to prevent injury with ordinary use. In putting on tips it should pas9 about two-thirds around the foot towards the heel, the toe and side of the foot should be taken away as far as the tip extends the thickness of the iron, the foot should be brought EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 1 5 to a square gog at its juncture with the tip so that the foot will be level and the bearing equal, that the frog and heel may come to the ground. These may be used in front and behind in the same manner, and should be made of steel or iron not over one-eighth inch thick and half an inch in width. They can be made lighter if you like. The tip is necessary for many colts on its hind feet on account of his scalping, as it is termed, so that you can use a toe boot to protect the coronet, which is a very sensative part of the foot. When a colt hits there a few times he begins to hitch and hobble, and you will say I don't know what ails my colt, he is bad gaited ; when the fact is, it is caused by an in- jury from hitting himself and having no protection. CHAPTER IV. How to Hitch Colts to Road Cart— How to Drive Colt the First Few Times— When to Let Up on Your Colt— Protect with Boots— Winter Treatment of the Yearling Colt. Now your colt is ready to hitch to a road cart to see if you can develop any speed. The best cart is probably manu factured by Bradley & Co., of Syracuse, N. Y., a cut of which in the back part of this work, with other specialties, is shown. They have agents in most every town in the United States, if no agent is near you, any order sent direct to the manufactory would be honored at once. It is light and cheap, and I con- sider them the best cart for the money in the market. Hitch him far enough away from the cart so that the hocks or tail cannot hit the cross bar or dash, also have the britchen very loose so he will have room to extend himself. If you are in a village go up one street and down another, as the colt heads towards the stable he will naturally be anxious to move along, then let him go for a brush, say for twenty or thirty rods, not to exceed forty. Then talk him back, not pull him ; use a light rein so as not to get his mouth sore ; after going a few rods slow, if he again desires to brush let him move along about the same distance as before, and if he is fresh and not tired, let him go around the block again and repeat as before. If you are not in a town go up the road and head him towards home ; you should not in these first few lessons force him to go at speed going away from home unless he is full of life and spirits and wants to go, thus it would be much better to let him have his head and move along than to pull him and take him back, as there are no natural pullers, they are all learned the trick by bad driving, heavy handed people, and is one of the worst habits a horse ever acquired. A horse will learn it easier than he can be broken of it. Why I speak of going around the block or up the road is because I favor road work EVERY MAX HIS OWN TRAINER. 1 7 instead of too much track work, as many get very sick of a track, there is too much sameness about it, they want a change of work and scenery. I would recommend in road work to go different directions on alternate days. A yearling colt should not be driven any day to exceed two miles, and in many cases one mile would be better. As soon as you discover that your colt is getting a little stale, that is dull and sour, let him up, stop working him. If he is shod with full shoes remove them, so as to rest his feet as well as otherwise. Let up on his grain about half if he is on strong feed, as different horses require different feed to keep them in condition, as well as different men require different amounts of food to keep them in good health. If it is warm weather give them a run to grass, say from one to three weeks. I would prefer a short pasture to a flush of feed, as he is liable to take on too much flesh. As soon as you see your colt brighten up and ■show playfulness, it indicates that he is rested out. I would prefer, when it is convenient, to work him one day and the next let him run out in a paddock or small pasture. Many times colts do better to let them run out nights if it is nice warm weather, in fact experiment — try first one way and then another — some will do better shut up and some run- ning out. It is well to humor a colt and work him according to his temperament. Children do not all need the same treat- ment to have them take kindly to their books, it is the same with a colt, he may need a change from ordinary handling. In the fall when his first season's work is over in his yearling form, his shoes should be removed. See that his feet are level and proper length, run a file around the sharp edge so they will not peel or break up, and if his heels are high lower them, as high heels are dangrous. The foot is more apt to contract, and by letting the heel down it throws the pressure upon the frog and keeps the heel spread out and foot in proper form. It will be beneficial many times to put some light irritant around the coronet, such as am- 1 8 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. monia and sweet oil, just strong enough to start a good healthy growth of horn, that is if the foot does not seem to be doing well. It may be a little hard and has stopped grow- ing, but if it is healthy and doing well, let well enough alone. Reduce his grain one half ; give him plenty of soft feed," fine ships, carrots, etc., once or twice a day. If this should make the colt's bowels loose change to dry food, oats or corn, or perhaps a few handfuls of wheat and plenty of good timothy hay, in fact any of this is good to keep the colt growing, ac- cumulating muscle, and in good heart. He should be loose in a box stall of good size, say twelve to fifteen feet square, with a paddock or small yard to run out in every pleasant day, as we all know that man or beast must have good air and sunlight to enjoy good health. In all cases the box stall must have good ventilation and plenty of light. The colt is now in winter quarters, and he should be left idle for at least three months. CHAPTER V.

Vanderbilt. In February or March, when your colt is two years old or thereabouts, you better put on his shoes and commence to give him moderate work, according to his ability. If he has grown big and strong, is high in flesh and spirits, it will be necessary to drive him to keep control of his flesh. Give him from two to three miles' drive twice a week, which may be increased to three times a week after a short time. Drive him either double or single, if double, remember to change sides alternately — first on near side and then on off side — as heretofore recommended. Do not give him any fast work yet, if you please ; jog him for at least three or four weeks be- fore attempting to start him up, then let his brushes be short, as I know that short, sharp work makes speed faster than long slow or fast work and keeps a colt good-gaited. A horse is always better by being short of work than he is if over- worked. As the season advances, moderately increase the work to every day, starting him up a little twice or three times a week. Be sure and have the colt headed towards home when you ask him to go, and he will move faster and be more cheerful. As you increase the work increase the feed ; give soft feed once a day — at night — and plenty of good timothy ha)-, except on the morning of the day you expect to speed himj 20 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. that morning it would be advisable not to fill his stomach with hay, wait until after he has had his work. As soon as grass makes its appearance give him a bite every day, letting him eat ten or fifteen minutes towards night after his work, as many times grass will make a horse puff and blow if he has it before he is speeded. Still it is acknowledged that Dr. Grass is the best veterinary we can many times employ. Now your colt is ready to work on the track, if you have one con- venient, if not, select a good smooth piece of road and. prepare it as well as you can, free from stone, and keep it soft if pos- sible. When you commence to speed him, I prefer a descend of ground so as to take the weight off the colt, as many times a colt's gait is spoiled by drawing too much weight. One way to avoid that is to select a very light speeding cart, weight not over eighty pounds, as most of the road carts in use are too heavy to speed a colt to, or aged horse. Bradley & Co., of Syracuse, also manufacture one of the best made and finest speeding cart in the market. The colt should be moved hitched to cart two or three times a week, at first from forty to fifty rods, after two weeks extend the distance to one-fourth of a mile, if you find this tires him, shorten up the distance again. After two weeks more repeat him, that is, speed him over that distance twice in one day. Great care should be taken to keep the colt's mouth from getting sore. I am favorable to using a leather bit, as more horses like it better than any other bit I ever used. I never have known a horse to get a sore mouth from a leather bit, but of course some horses will not drive well with them. If not, use a snafle or bar bit, as suits your horse best. See that your harness is well fitted and suits the colt ; see that your check suits him ; many horses do not like an overdraw, some will not go without them. If he should not go well with an overdraw, the next time you go out put a com- mon side check on him, with or without check bit, try both ways ; be sure and drive him with a light hand ; if your colt breaks don't be harsh with him, learn him to catch well. EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 21 Speak to him to go on ; hold the reins lightly, take him straight back to you first and speak gently — whoa, boy — so that the colt may know what you want of him. If it is nec- essary to use the whip on him tap him lightly, not go under his flank and punish him, the noise of the whip also frightens him ; perhaps it would take months to get him over it, as I know by sad experience when I had Lysander Boy — 2:20| — in the early part of his training I hit him a smart blow with the whip for a bad break, and it frightened him so much that it was more than three months before I was able to gain his confidence again. Whenever I would make a quick move with the reins he would jump and break and act frightened, in fact he did not get over it until I removed the blinds and drove him without a whip so that he could see that I was not going to hurt him. I would learn every colt or horse to drive with and with- out blinds or winkers. After tapping him with the whip and taking him back straight, if he don't catch, pull him a little to the right or to the left, and speak gently to him ; if he don't catch tap him a little again with the whip or chirp to him to keep him up to the bit, but not under any circumstances give him a short jerk or snath, as it is called in horse talk, for that will irritate or frighten him and he will not try to catch. As soon as he gets squared away on a trot it would be well to chirp or speak to him to go on, and at the same time take a little more hold of his mouth, so as to steady him until he gets fairly on his gait and then ease away, but do not force him to a break if you can possibly avoid it. When he has made a nice brush, take him back before he gets tired and wants to come back himself ; that keeps your colt in high courage and cheerful, and he is ready to go any time you may ask him, instead of driving and forcing him until he gets tired or breaks again, for that will make him re- luctant and sour and he will not try to go. A colt will soon learn and appreciate kindness as well as a person. 22 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. After this work take your colt in, unharness him, sponge' out his mouth, nose and eyes with nice fresh water ; give him a few swallows of the same, cover him lightly, scrape arrd rub the water out if he is warmed up much. Give his legs a light rubbing ; be sure and keep him out of any draft. It is better to be out in the field or street than to be standing be- tween two open doors or windows. Walk him about in the air gently, give him a few mouthfuls of grass if convenient;- also give him a little more water and a little more rubbing until he is cooled out. I do not believe in much rubbing for a colt for it is apt to get them sore, cross and pevish. When he is properly cooled out, brush him out nicely, and if the legs are dirty, from either mud or dust, wash them clean with soft water with the chill taken off ; pick out the feet and wash them nicely, and if he has had stiff work, use some kind of wash. Witch hazel and arnica, with camphor gum added to it, is my favorite. Extract witch hazel, two gallons ; tincture of arnica, six ounces; camphor gum, three ounces ; cut the gum with alcohol before adding to witch hazel and arnica. This may be rubbed over the shoulders, loins and muscles. Then throw a blanket over him so he will steam out. It will sweat the soreness out if there is any. Bathe the legs down to the feet with the same, then put on a light derby or flannel bandage. If the ankles are chapped or any roughness of the skin, it would be well to run the bandage down to the hoof. That will sweat the ankles and keep the air from them and remove the soreness and prevent them chapping badly ; leave them on, say two hours. At night it would be well to pack his feet if it is dry, hot weather, two to three times a week with com- mon clay, wet up so it is pliable ; fill the bottom of the foot ; put it well up around the quarters so that it will draw the fever out if there is any. It will not do any harm any- way to leave it in over night. In the morning pick it out clean i$ EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 23 and wash the foot ; then give him a walk while the dew is on the grass, as it is a grand thing to soften the foot. If this is not his speeding day let him have a little grass, as this is a grand thing for a horse, especially one that is a little delicate about feeding, as you will see he will come in and eat his breakfast with a good relish. I have had many a good horse, when in training, that would not eat his morning feed until he had his walk, a little fresh air, and a bite of grass. After his breakfast brush him out nicely and give him his jog if he needs any work that day. In their two-year-old form every other day is sufficient many times to jog them. Others may require a little work every day if they are big, strong and healthy and full of life and spirits. Many colts do better to lead them behind a cart, keeping the harness off and bit out of their mouth. If you should decide to try leading, take a long halter stale and a light, strong stick eight to ten feet long, put a hole in one end of it, put a short strap with a buckle and billet on it so you can buckle it into the ring of the halter. Then the man leading the colt can take both strap and stick in his hand ; the stick keeps the colt from injury by running up against the cart or wheel. It would be well to have a ring in the other end of the stick to pass your halter stale through, so if you ac- cidentally drop the stick the strap will hold it up and prevent an accident. By the use of this stick you should keep the colt well back away from the cart so he can see where he is traveling and thus prevent any stumbling or blunder. With a valuable colt I would recommend a knee pad in leading, which is made on purpose to protect the front part of the knee, for if he should make a misstep and hit his knee cap it would be a very serious accident, as it is hard to heal and liable to scar more than any other place on a horse. Now, if the colt has any engagements in Breeders' stakes or otherwise, and we decide to go to the track with him, the 24 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. first thing to be looked to is to see that he is properly shod and balanced on his feet. I favor useing a shoe as light as possible, which balances and keeps your colt pure gaited and on a trot. There is hardly two horses that want shoeing just alike ; some colts want a good deal of weight to get them going. Wonderful improvements have been made with the use of toe weights, but they are used many times when they are a detriment to the horse. Experimenting with them is the only test. Many times a horse will go better with the weight on the bottom of the foot — all of it in the shoe — and others will improve faster with a pound weight — twelve ounces of it in the shoe and four ounces in a toe weight; Some require more weight than that. I have known a four-year-old who carried a one and one-half pound shoe and a one and one-half pound toe weight on each foot, and he could not go a bit with- out them for some time ; that weight seemed to get him going, so that in a short time he went without any toe weight. When I campaigned him through the Grand Circuit I used a nineteen ounce shoe on him and no toe weight, trotting him two mile heats. That horse was Amber; record, 4:52, two miles, and 2:25, one mile. He could trot in 2:20. So you can see that wonderful improvements have been made by the use of toe weights. I want to impress on you that in my experience many horses can, after they are gaited, leave off their toe weights, and they will go faster, further and stay sound longer. Many colts or horses when you first go out to work them are a little high strung, or are double-gaited, that is, are in- clined to pace. It would be well to use a toe weight the first heat, after that remove your weight or lighten it. If you are useing a four ounce, put on a two ounce or remove it alto- gether, and many times you will find your colt going much better, that is faster, without the weight than with it. If you are preparing your colt for a race, great care should be used not to give him too much work, that is not to give EVERY MAX HIS OWN TRAINER. 25 him too many trials. Leave your watch at home, jog him as short a distance as will do, and be ready at any time if he wants to brush out to give him his head and let him step along for a short distance. As I have said before, take him back just before he is ready to come back himself. Jog him from one and one-half to two miles, the reverse way of the track. In many cases one mile is enough. Then turn him the right way of the track and go away from the wire at a moderate rate of speed, and if you are going a half mile let him go the first quarter well within himself, then let him com- mence to move faster, and increase his speed all the way to the wire. The last fifteen or twenty rods drive him along, which will learn him to finish well. If you are going to drive him a mile, let him go easy the first half, then commence to let him move along, increase his speed, but do not urge him to his utmost limit until he is well up into the stretch, say on the last eighth of the mile, then force him along from there to the wire. By using a colt this way, you will find when in a race or trial, though he is tired when he strikes into the stretch, he will struggle at his utmost, increasing his speed every stride until he passes the wire. Do not take your watch with you more than once a week, and then hold it on him the last quarter only. Do not go to the track with your colt more than twice a week, and one of those two days give him an easy mile or half mile, as your race may be, with a sharp brush at the finish. The other day give him a repeat. First give him an easy half or mile, as you may be working him. Unhitch, remove the harness, take off his boots, sponge him thoroughly — mouth, nose and eyes. Scrape the water out of him, rub him out with nice clean cloths, made of salt sacks, which I think is the best material. Wipe the water out of him nicely, but not too much, give his legs a light rubbing with the cloths, throw a light blanket over him if it is warm, if cool, a heavy one. Give him a few swallows of water, then walk him about for fifteen or twenty minutes, then straighten 26 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. his hair out again with the rub cloths, put his boots and har- ness on, hitch him to the sulky, go out and jog him the re- verse of the track, say half a mile, then turn him, let him go moderately well within himself the first quarter, then com- mence to increase his speed gradually to the half-mile pole, and then a little faster the balance of the mile ; but be sure and have a reserve of speed left for the final brush at the wire. Watch him carefully all the time to see that he goes level; if he attempts to break, many times a gentle word, as "Whoa, boy," and a little tightening of the reins at the same time, will correct matters, and as soon as he squares away, ease away on the reins and cluck or speak to him, it will make him go faster and more cheerful than before, as it gives him con- fidence to speak to him and take him back a little at times. It also gives him courage. My idea is to give the colt a change from so much sameness, as constant urging and forc- ing him along. When through with this take him to the stable, remove boots, harness, etc., cool him out as before, do not take him in a hot, close stall, you might better do this un- der a tree or in the shade of a building than to do it in the stable where you have open 'doors and windows, and there- by get a draft through, which would be bad for your colt. After you have got him sponged and rubbed out, throw a blanket on him, bathe the soles of 'his feet with nice, fresh water if the weather is hot and the track is dry. Then walk him out until he has cooled out nicely, giving him a few swal- lows of water occasionally; bring him in and brush him out, not too much, however ; give his legs a light rubbing, bathe his shoulders, back and legs with the wash heretofore men- tioned ; put on your derby bandages dry. If your colt's legs are inclined to puff or are gummy, use a linen bandage wet in cold water ; put the rolled bandages in a pail of tepid soft water, wring them out as well as possible with your hands and run them on and leave them until they get dry; then when you take them off you will find his legs cool and nice, having EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 2J been greatly benefited by this treatment. Towards night walk him out for an airing; let him eat grass ten or fifteen minutes ; then put him in and give him his supper and bid him good night. This meal should be of soft feed, say fine ships, wet up with cold water with a handful of salt in it ; this will keep his bowels open and cooled out and in good condition for his work next time. I do not approve of hot mashes when a horse is well. When a horse is sick, it is many times necessary to give him a hot mash to steam out his head and throat and warm him up in case of a bad cold or other sickness ; but when a horse is well, let well enough alone. I have had horses in good health which became sick, that is to say, took cold from the steam and heating propensities of a hot mash ; it opened the pores and they contracted a cold on their next exposure to a colder temperature or on giving them a drive. Throw away hot mashes, soaking tubs and blanket sweats, for they have been proved an injury and have been abandoned by all first-class trainers for years. It is well enough if a horse is high in flesh and his neck heavy, so as to effect his breathing, to use a short hood, say half way down his neck ; drive him two or three miles and his neck will sweat freely ; then re- move it, scrape out the water and dry his neck out. This should not be used only for a short, sharp drive, as I have known a horse that was given a long drive with a heavy hood on to scald his mane and cause it to drop out. Twice a week is often enough to use the sweat hood. When you do use it, select a warm, pleasant day, and not a cold day, as you would not get much sweat, and it would expose your horse and he would be liable to take cold from it. If you have a horse with a large amount of flesh on the ribs which you must remove quickly on account of a neces- sary hurried preparation, take two salt sacks, sew one end to- gether, wet it in soft rain water, wrap it around the body be- tween the hip and shoulder ; over that put a large, heavy woolen blanket, folded about the width of the salt sack, pin 28 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. it around the body ; put another ordinary stable blanket over that ; keep it on your horse, in the stall, from one to one and a half hours. You will find you have removed more flesh than you could have done with a ten-mile drive on the road or track, and have also saved the feet and legs of your horse. This may be also used on any part of the body or neck with good success. As your colt gets more muscle and strength his work may be gradually increased, but remember at all times to drive your colt within himself, as that keeps up his courage and de- sire to do better, whereas, if you drive him to his full speed every time you work him, he will soon become tired and dread to go to the track. I have seen colts and horses that would act as though they would rather jump down a well than go inside the track gates ; if at the same time you drive them off on the road they would go and act well, in fact, act natural, when, if you should track them that day they would act sour, break, and many times be almost unmanageable. I would advise, if at any time your colt seems reluctant to go on the track, to keep away from there for a few days, perhaps a week, give him his work on the road. I have seen horses go better than they ever did before when there had been three or four days of rainy weather, so it was impossible to get them on the track or hardly out of the stable ; perhaps they had a little walk under the shed only during the time. In order to prove this argument is correct, that too much track work is sometimes a damage, I will cite an experience I had with the chestnut horse Bonner, record 2:23, and Great East- ern, record 2:18^, in the year 1874. Eugene Root, of Syracuse, N. Y., had Black Frank, record 2:20, afterwards given to him by me, and Norwood, record 2:30, owned by S. B. Larned, of Syracuse ; Amos Gillett was on his staff as man- ager of these two horses. We were both preparing for the Grand Circuit on the same track, but in different stables. My horses were rather high in flesh ; Amos used to remark that they looked more like market horses than trotters. We both EVERY MAX HIS OWN TRAINER. 29 intended to enter our horses at Poughkeepsie, but were in different classes. The day the entries closed Amos instructed his trainer, Root, to go out and give his horses three heats each, about to the limit of their speed, useing his usual say- ing, " They will never learn to trot unless you trot them." Root done as ordered. As I remember, Black Frank went three heats from 2:20 to '2:28 ; Norwood's three heats close to 2:30. I gave my horses three heats each. I gave Bonner the first heat in 2:40, second heat in 2:30, and third heat in 2:33. Great Eastern was then a new beginner and had never yet ap- peared in the Grand Circuit. I gave him his first heat in 2:40, second heat in 2:39, and third heat in 2:30. We both en- tered our horses that evening. When our horses appeared on the track at the tap of the bell at Poughkeepsie, Mr. Gillett sat in the Grand Stand, and a gentleman asked him " What Feekhad?'' Amos replied, "That is Bonner, he is a good horse, but he is too high in flesh ; he has not had any work, and cannot trot a race out." I won my race, in which we trotted four hard heats, and gave Bonner a record of 2:24. Black Frank started in another class the same day, and was in the pink essence of condition, as Mr. Gillett called it — low in flesh and ready to trot for a man's life ; but he did not get any of the money. I, with Great Eastern, started in another class the next day and won my race in three straight heats, giving Great Eastern a record of 2:30. Norwood started the same day in another class in equally as good condition as Black Frank, and as I remember, got fourth money. Later in the meeting I started my horses in faster classes and got second money in each of them. Mr. Gillett started both of his again, but got no money. Many like circumstances in my ex- perience proves the theory correct that horses arc better short of work than overworked when they start out for the money, and that is what we are all looking for. The next year, 1875, I started Great Eastern at Roch- ester, August 11. William Sanders, one of the old school- practice horsemen, came in the stable and said to my groom, 30 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. Tom King, " Is he not too high in flesh ? he looks more like a coach horse than a trotter.'' That was the day of the race that will long be remembered by the horsemen of America. It was the East against the West. Great Eastern carried the banner of the East, and Elsie Good the flag of the West. The Western delegation said Great Eastern was a big lobster and no good ; he was seventeen hands and one and one-half inches high, and weighed, in high flesh, thirteen hundred pounds. He stepped it off in one, two, three order, getting a record of 2:10, and some of the Western delegation had to walk home. There was in the class Hannah D., 2:22^ ; Elsie Good, 2:22|-; j ac k Draper, 2:27; Levinski, 2:25^; Nellie Walton, 2:26i . Mazomania, 2:20£; Bateman, 2:22; Phil. Sheridan, 2:261; Ella Madden, 2.25$; Grey Chief, 2:24f, and Great Eastern, who had a record at that time of 2:28|. Elsie Good had won at Cleveland and Buffalo. The West had made up their mind she was invincible in her class, consequently she was an immense favorite in the pool box. Some of the delegation came to Dan Mace, who had Nellie Walton in the same race, and agreed to divide all purse and pool money with us if we would agree to not interfere with Elsie Good, that is to get in her way or impede her stride, not thinking that either of us could beat her. They had a pot of money in the pool box and wanted to protect it, as we term it, in fact they had persuaded me that she was a world-beater, as I had not at that time seen her trot, consequently I was willing to do business, thinking a half a loaf was better than none. In coming down for the word, Elsie scored like a train of cars. Mace's mare did not act very well and I did not show up much with Great Eastern. Mace and myself were informed by the Western delegation that we were no good and that we were out of the play ; if we got anything we would have to help ourselves to it. I talked with some of them and tried to have them give us some of it as it was late and we had no money in the box. I had by this time found EVERY MAX HIS OWN TRAINER. 3 1 out my horse was good, but did not want to show up until later on in the next week, and so informed them, but they said " No, not a cent; go help yourself. The judges became tired of the delay and called out to us, " Go up there and come down or we will send them off without you." We went up and came down and got the word, and I was up in a little better place than I was in any of the other scores. Going around the turn Hannah D. had the lead, Elsie Good second, with Gus Glidden driving her, I was third. My mind was fixed, I preferred any horse to win except Elsie Good, as I was considerably riled up over the breach of contract. As we turned into the back side Elsie Good passed Hannah D., and I followed suit, and we were at the half-mile pole in 1:09. Great Eastern was at Elsie Good's head, and I being a little angry, said to Glidden, her driver, "That his mare could not go a bit,'' and stepped along by her and won the heat easy in 2:1!'. Then there was a terrible howl and hurrah ; the judges made a mistake at first in hanging out the time as 2:21. Alden Goldsmith rushed out of the Grand Stand, walk- ing almost over peoples' heads, very excited, calling out, ' ; That is not right, the time is 2:19," and the judges on looking saw their mistake and put out the correct time, 2:19. That started another howl — 2:19 for that big lobster. The Western dele- gation said that heat will do him, he won't come aS.V, l ; ::3<; and l':i". ,: ;. The next place I started her was at Cleveland, Ohio, July 28 and 29, against Belle Hamlin, 2:13*, Manzanita, 2:10, Spofford, 2:18^, Longfellow Whip, 2:20, Orange Boy. 2:18J, and Lowland Girl, 2:181. There was a great battle between Manzanita and Belle Hamlin. They seemed to be the great contending horses, and a great fight they had, too. Manzan- ita won the first heat in 2:10}, and the second in 2:19-]-. Belle 88 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER-. Hamlin won the third heat in 2:18^-, the fourth in 2:10 and the fifth in 2:18^. I did not have speed enough for the party and so I gave my mare as easy a race as I could. I got fourth money out of it and Spofford third. The next week, August 4, we came to Buffalo, N. Y. There I met Spofford, 2:1 8|, Charles Hilton, 2:17|, Elmer, 2:22^, Centella, 2:21, Reveille, 2:21f, Echo Chief, 2:21£, and Longfellow Whip, 2:20. We had a good deal of talk and held council with Crawford, Turner and others as to the merits of the three horses — Spofford, Hilton and Kitefoot. When we went out and commenced war General Turner made up his mind his horse was good and it was his day, and he better step Spofford right along and see if he could not get the biggest end of the money, which he did in three straight heats, in 2:20, 2:21£ and 2:20. Hilton second, Elmer third and Kitefoot fourth. There was not much betting on the race, especially by the participants, as neither of us had confidence enough in our horses to back them. The next week, August 12th, we met at Rochester, N. Y. There was in that race, Spofford, Kitefoot, Elmer, Reveille, Breeze, Medium, Mable A., 2:23£ ; Nettie T., 2:22^, and Mary Powell, 2:22|. I" hardly thought Kitefoot was good enough to back her against Spofford, so I took Mr. Cramer, the owner of Kitefoot, one side and gave him my opinion of the race, and advised him to play $500 for him and myself on Spofford, as I thought him the better horse, and I wanted the owner to have his part of the money if there was any in the race, as I have always considered the owner of the horse I am driving was the only one in the play that I was obliged to give my real opinion to on the race which we were interested in, and I always want them to have their part of the play. When any man driving a trotter attempts to do any different from what the owner knows about, he is working against his own in- terest, and his success will be limited, and his days will be short on the turf, with good men and good horses, and his purse will be light. I have always said, and will say while I EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 89 live, " That when I drive a horse any different from what the owner knows, I don't want to live to drive another horse in a race. The public must take care of themselves." Mr. Cramer said " No, he would like to have the mare win if she could," so I did not play a dollar on the race, but went out and done the best I could. Spofford won it in three straight heats in 2:21", 2:22!, and 2:19^. I got second money, being second every heat. The next week I laid up, the rest of the boys went to Utica. I told Mr. Cramer to be sure and be at Island Park, Albany, N. Y., August 26th, and have plenty of money with him as possibly I might want to use him. I did not tell him what I wanted of him, but simply said to be sure and be there, as I had made up my mind I should have a good mare that week. Spofford was now out of the 2:23 class and I thought Kitefoot could beat the rest of them. I had made up my mind we could make some money down there, and I wanted Mr. Cramer to have his part of it. The time came and Mr. Cramer was there, but told me he did not have much money to play on the race. I told him I was going to play some money and would declare him in with it. He had al- ways told me he had never made much money with that mare and did not have much confidence in making any on a horse race. But I had a good deal of confidence in the mare with that field of horses, which were Echo Chief, Silva M., Viking, Elmer, Lizzie Wilkes, Don Carlos, Mary Powell, and Breeze Medium. The evening before the race I met Frank L. Herdic, took him by the arm and we walked up the street. I gave him my opinion of the race and told him to play $1,500 on Kitefoot and we would cut it up in thirds between himself, Mr. Cramer and myself. I knew there w r ould be good betting in the forenoon at the club house, and I did not want to be seen talking with Herdic ; neither did I want to be seen play- ing any money myself, as I thought it would make my mare a big favorite, consequently I kept away from the pool box. 90 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. The betting was spirited. I was busy all the time with my other horses, as I had a number there with me. Occasionally some of my friends would come to me to know what I thought — if I was backing the mare any. I told them no, I had not bought a ticket on her and should not until L had seen them trot a little, for it was a good field of horses and I thought it would be a hard race for her to win. Consequently the betting was good and Frank got in $1,665 and got a little more than even money against it — which was $165 more than my order, but Frank said the betting was so good he could not let it alone. I told him all right, to keep going, and be- fore we ever got the word he had on $2,185. I told Mr. Cra- mer we had on $1,600. He threw up both hands and nearly- fainted. He said, " My God ! Suppose she gets beat, what will we do ? '' I replied, "Andrew, if she does, I will take care of the money part ; but your old mare will probably be in hock the balance of her days." He said, " Jack, I guess you are right," and went off and sat down in the shade. Jimmey Golden had Viking in this race and he thought well of him and played quite a sum of money; at least, he sent word to me by a friend that he had money enough on Viking to win about $'2,000, and wanted to know what I had to say about it. I said, u Tell Jimmey it is everyone for himself to-day." S. W. came to me several times and wanted to know what I thought about my mare in the race. I told him as 1 had others, that I had not played any money myself and I thought Elmer was a dangerous horse in the race. So he bought a ticket or two on Elmer and stopped. He was too smart, and would not have it that way. He watched the tactics and soon got right and put his money on Kitefoot. I was not veiy well acquainted with Mac at the time, or I should have put him right at the start, as he has been a great friend of mine since and we have played thousands of dollars together. I regard him as the greatest manager and best pool buyer that ever went out on a race track, and he is one of the straightcst men I ever knew. Jimmey Golden says he can climb a tree EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 9 1 or jump on top of the fence and see more at the finish of a heat than any four men he ever saw in his life. He can come and tell you more after a. heat — who was trying to win and who was not, what horses were tired and which were fresh — than any dozen men you can find pn the track. Time was called and we paraded with our cattle, nine of us in line. Positions I am unable to give at this date; suffice it to say that after a few false starts we got the word, and Frank Van Ness, who was driving Echo Chief, shot to the front and won the heat quite handily in 2:2 If. I went a very easy heat, not making a move for it or for a position. But this did not change the betting much, as Kitefoot had got to be quite a favorite by this time and the boys all saw I was laying up the heat. We came out for the second heat and after a few scores the word go was given and the bell tapped by mistake at the same time. I heard the bell, but did not hear the word. I of course thought it was a recall and pulled up. Someone called out to me, "Go on, Jack, you have got the word." I had actually pulled up and started to turn around. By the time I got straightened out Echo Chief was away off on the lead, fully fifteen lengths ahead of me, and I hardly thought it was safe to let him win two heats, so I said to the old mare, " It is do or die. 1 ' It of course took me some time to get my mare on her stride and get her agoing again ; in fact, she did not really get straightened away on a trot until she got to the quarter pole. Then she really, set sail for the Chief and closed on him inch by inch, and from the half-mile pole to the wire I just drove her for dear life every inch of the road. She came the last half in 1:07. I caught Echo Chief at the distance box and I was not long in making him cough. I won the heat in 2:21£, but I was alarmed about my mare, for I had never had a horse that one such heat as that would not take more out of them than even two or three ordinary heats would, but she was not one of that kind, for she did not mind the heat seemingly a mite. She cooled out nice and said as plain as she could she was not tired a bit, but 92 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. . I could not take her word for that and went and told Herdic what I had done and that he had better play back a little of that money. By this time Kitefoot had got to be an immense favorite. She would bring $50 and the whole field $6 or $7 against her. I think Frank played back $160. That covered over $1,300 of the money. Then I thought we could afford to lose the balance, if anything occurred and we got beat. To my surprise she went out and won the third heat in 2:20|, as easy a mile as I ever saw her go in my life, and the fourth heat in 2:21^. We then went into town and after supper settled up our matters with Mr. Herdic. Mr. Cramer, Mr. Herdic and myself went up in my room, and when Frank began to throw those $100 dollar bills around to Mr. Cramer and my- self, Cramer said, " Is this all mine ? '' There was a little over $600 for his share. I said to him, "Yes." He looked up to me and smiled and said, " Well, Jack, there is a little money after all in a horse race if it is rightly managed.'' I think we all rested well that night. We awoke in the morning in good health and after breakfast went to the track and found Kite- foot was not feeling sorry for what she had done the day before. I have omitted to say that after two races I left the weights off, worked her a little and thought I liked her bet- ter. I kept the old shoes on her, that is, re-set them until they were well worn out, and this race showed the result of my judgment. The less weight a horse can carry the further they can go and will last longer. The next week, September 2d, I started her at Hartford, Conn., in the 2:23 class, in which was Breeze Medium, Don Carlos, Echo Chief, etc. This race was not of much interest, with the exception of a little circumstance that took place in the third heat. Don Carlos won the first heat in 2:23f ; Kite- foot won the second in 2:21. Then I wanted a little money, so I played the field against Kitefoot in the French pools and the bookmakers for the heat. I supposed, of course, Don Carlos, Breeze Medium, or some of them would go along a EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 93 respectable heat. The fact was, none of them could go a bit, and I had very hard work in losing the heat to Breeze Me- dium in 2:25£. I had considerable money on the field and I could not afford to drive my own money away, as it is not human nature for a man to lose his money when he can save it. But when I saw on the blackboard 2:25f my feelings could be compared to that old story where a man was caught in open daylight with a sheep on his back, and I was ashamed in about the same measure. When we came out for the fourth heat the judges invited me to step up in the stand for a minute. That was just what I expected, and thought they were justified in it, and I was prepared for the occasion. As I went up them stairs and faced the judges I put up my whip and said, "Gentlemen, I am ashamed as a man can be, and there will be no more of this." They looked at each other and smiled. I suppose they expected me to make some excuse for losing the heat in such slow time. I think they laughed because I was so frank as to confess my guilt, and said to themselves, "A guilty con- science needs no accuser." My idea is, if a man does a mean thing it is not necessary to tell a big lie to get out of it. The easiest way and the best way is to come right to the front and own the corn, and then try to do better. So it was in this case. All the judges said, was " Feek, go down, get behind your mare and close this up," which I did in 2:22^ and 2:25|. The next week, September 8th, we went to Springfield, Mass. I had a very easy race in the 2:23 class, in which was Don Carlos, Breeze Medium and Silva M. Kitefoot won it in three straight heats. Time, 2:22£, 2:21 and 2:25. The following week, September 11th, they gave a good meeting at Mystic Park, Boston, A very nice gentleman, Mr. Willis, the proprietor of Mystic Park, had just got possession of the Park after the expiration of a lease of a number of years to other parties, and he desired to celebrate the event by giving good purses, thereby guaranteeing a better meeting than had been given there in sometime. He gave $1,000 94 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. • purses — one of them the 2:20 class. I have always liked the bean eaters, they are good fellows and good betters. I de- cided to go down and make them a visit, and thought I would take Kitefoot along for expense money. So I entered her in the 2:2() class, in which was De Barry, 2:101 ; Onward, 2:20^, and Pilot Knox, 2.19f. That was a race worthy of the gods. I had made up my mind that De Barry would be the contend- ing horse as Pilot Knox was not quite at himself, and On- ward had not been going well enough to make his owners have any confidence in him. The betting was a little quiet Dt the commencement, not as good as I expected to see it, for De Barry had showed his ability at Springfield the week before to trot in about 2:19, while Kitefoot had never shown better than 2:20^, and that in only one heat. This led me to believe that De Barry would be a strong favorite, and I had decided if he was, to play my mare right well and went prepared, but he was not, and as I said before, the betting was quiet. So I decided to go easy the first part of the race, thinking Pilot Knox would be able to carry De Barry the first heat about as fast as he would want to go. But when we got the word we all went up to the first turn together and I thought I would go a piece with them and feel De Barry out and satisfy myself whether I could beat him or not, and then drop back and go easy. But as we got to the turn Onward broke and a few strides farther on Pilot Knox broke. Then I saw at once there was no one to go with De Barry but mysel-f, so I stepped right along with him, in the meantime trying to decide whether I would win the heat or lose ; but as we got along into the stretch nearing the distance stand, I said to myself, I will go and win the heat ; I can lose one later on. I moved up and won by about a neck in 2:20f. But the judges did not see it in that way and gave the heat to De Barry, which made me and a good many others warm under the collar. I asked the judges why they gave De Barry the heat. One of them replied, " Because De Barry got there first," which I knew was not so, but was not going EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 95 into the stand to dispute with them. I was informed by one of the other judges that it was on account of a break made by Kitefoot coming up the stretch. That made it more satisfac- tory with me, because she did make a riffle, but not enough, in my opinion, to take the heat away from her. This made De Barry a slight favorite, but not as much as I thought he ought to be, he being a Boston horse and owned by a man who always wanted his horses to win when they could. He is a very popular man, a great road rider, and has generally owned the best horses in Boston. They are driven by James Golden, who always wants to win when it is in the pins. I had up to this time done everything I could to lead the Bos- tonians to believe that De Barry was the horse that day. It had been my custom while in Boston and elsewhere, that when my friend Morse was selling pools and I was play- ing any money, I would give him the order and let him play it for me, as you have to be very careful nowadays how you do the business, or the public will be on to your scheme. People do not bet their money on races as they used to. They do not bet on their own judgment, but watch for a pointer, that is, watch the betting fraternity and follow them. The masses will follow one or two men that in their opinion have found out all about the race. My tactics were, that by staying away from the pool box entirely and not giving any order to Morse, he would also think DeBarry was the horse to win. But I was disappointed, as DeBarry was not as strong a favorite as I thought he would be. By this time I had be- come better acquainted with my friend S. YY., and I got him to assist me in watching the betting, and when it came right to play the money for me. He had done a little business in that line for me before, and had placed a little money on this race up to this time, but not much. We went out for the second heat and it was a fight between DeBarry and Kite- foot every inch of the road — as we never was out of a lap from start to finish. I out-finished him a little and won the heat by about a neck in 2:20£, and they gave it to me this 96 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. . time. Then Kitefoot sold up even with DeBarry. In the third heat Kitefoot did not get away very well, so I made no effort for the heat. DeBarry won in 2:23, and then the boom came. The Bostonians had now become satisfied that De- Barry would win, and they made him a great favorite ; he would bring $50 to $15, and the field from $7 to $10. I then told S W. that the time had arrived to put on the money. That I thought I could do the horse, and we would take the chance,'' Mac done so, and it was good. In scoring for the fourth heat we had some difficulty in getting off. Finally someone said go, but it did not come from the judges' stand, and I knew it, but Golden did not, as he kept his horse going, and that suited me. as my great hopes in winning the race was in outlasting him. So I kept going with him. The other two horses dropped back, but we kept up a stiff elip down the backside. Golden asked me sev- eral times if we had the word. I said I did not know, and we kept going until we got into the stretch, and then some peo- ple ran out and said we had not got the word, and Golden pulled up. I jogged along on up and passed the stand in about 2:20. When we came back to the stand and got out, the judges ordered us " to mount, go up and score down." Some of the drivers did not want to do so, asked for a recess, and refused to start again ; but the judges would not allow it, and considerable discussion took place. Finally we all got in our sulkies, went up and came down for the word, and in this heat De Barry got away a little the best of it, in fact, Pilot Knox also got away a little ahead of me. This heat satisfied me how J. J. Bowen, who was driving Pilot Knox, had played his money. He got me in the pocket and kept me there about to the three-quarter pole, where his horse broke and let me out. When I got out of the pocket I moved up to De Barry and carried him so fast that half way down the stretch he broke and I won the heat in 2:22. It was then night and the judges postponed the race until the next day at 12 o'clock. By this time the race had got very interesting, and as the EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 97 boys said, it looked as if it was for blood, and Jimmey and I were both out for the money. That night there was nothing left undone as far as good care and nursing was concerned in doing up my mare for the night, and, as she was a little ailing in front I removed her shoes, and after a thorough soaking out in hot water I put her front feet into poultices made of scalded bran and raw onions pounded up and mixed with it, and left them on her all night. In the morning her feet looked like a piece of chicken meat, and she walked out as limber as an eel. After breakfast I took her to the shop and got a new piece of Kersy, put un- der her shoes, as I always used that on her to take off the blow, did not let it cover the sole of her foot, but just used it under the shoes, and I knew it helped her a great deal, as it will any horse that is a little touched in front. This mare could not stand any sole pressure, she wanted all the bearing on the wall of her foot, and could always go from two to three seconds better with the Kersy under her shoes than she could without it, and yet leave that cloth entirely over the sole of her foot and she could not go a bit. A little after 11 o'clock I put the harness on her and went out and jogged her two miles and moved her along a mile in 2:50 ; then I came in, and after cooling her out a few minutes I put the boots on her and moved her along a mile in 2:30 ; then I took her in and cooled her out, and when the bell rang she and I were ready for any emergency that might arise. Jimmey Golden seemed to have perfect confidence in De Barry, for as we went down onto the track to decide the mat- ter, I said to Golden, " How do you feel ? " He replied, " Never better," and, " I think I will do you." And, by the way, Jimmey is a man who don't need much telling — he looks after matters and his horse about as closely as anyone can, and when he gets through with an animal no one else need expect to improve him much. We commenced and scored a few times unsuccessfully. The judges tapped the bell and called us all to the stand and ordered us to go up to the hun- 98 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. dred yard distance and score down with me, as I had the pole, and not come ahead of me under a penalty. We came down with the other three horses head and head. I was a little back, say a length, but they gave the word and De Barry went right in and took the pole and my friend Bowen had me in the pocket again. But it did not do him much good, for his horse broke at the turn and let me out, and I went right at De Barry for dear life. We went head and head until within fifty feet of the wire, neither one making a break or misstep. From there I pulled the whip on Kite and won the heat by about a saddle-girt in 2:18£. And then came the howl. De Barry's friends made a great kick and claimed the heat, but the judges would not have it and gave me the heat and race. I don't think I ever drove a race in my life where there was more feeling manifest from start to finish, and I don't believe some of the Boston people have got over it to this day. The next and last race I trotted her that year was at Goshen, N. Y., October 15, over a half-mile track in the free- for-all against the great Red Wilkes gelding Phil. Thompson, 2:16^-, and Walnut, 2:19^. It was a very cold, raw day. The track was very hard. Kitefoot was considerably sore in front and she did not like to go over that hard track. But Thomp- son was so great a favorite on account of his showing himself such a good horse on a half-mile ring, that Jimmey Gold- smith, who was driving Walnut, and myself thought it would be well to take a little of that short end and just go out and give that grey gentleman a horse race for the money. Jimmey thought he could carry him the first heat about as fast as he would want to go. So we decided that Jimmey should go out and give him a fight for the first heat and I would lay up. He done so ; Walnut was not much good that day and did not get very near Thompson after we got the word, and the grey horse won the heat very easily in 2:25^. The next heat the track was so hard that Kite hated to commence, and I got a very poor send off. I was behind and my mare on almost EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 99 any gait but a trot. Thompson shot away from me like an arrow, opening a gap of fully ten lengths to the quarter pole, but the old mare got warmed up by that time and commenced to close on him, and finished close up in 2:22. I was consid- erably dissatisfied with the send off and told the judges so, and insisted on their sending me away on a trot next time. One of the judges looked at me and said, " Jack, your mare is so sore she can't hit a trot, it's no use," But I insisted there was, and said, "The race is not over, and I will do him yet if you will let me away on a trot and give me any kind of a send off.'' I went and got some hot water and .a soaking-tub and put Kite into it in front, and covered her up warm. I did not rub her body any to speak of, just straightened her hair and rubbed her legs thoroughly. I kept her in the hot water until the bell rang — in fact, harnessed her and put the boots on her while she stood in the tub. I brought her out and hitched her as quick as possible. Jimmey Goldsmith had drawn his horse Walnut and Thompson was out there waiting for me. I found that my mare was greatly improved. We went right up and came down for the word, and I think we got it the first time to a good start. Thompson took the lead, but I kept close to his wheel and when near the three-quarter pole went right up to his head. There Sneider commenced to use his whip. I said to him, " Don't punish your horse, for it will be no use ; I am going easy." When we rounded into the stretch I moved along and won the heat in 2:21^, which was the fastest heat ever trotted in Orange county, N. Y., and they chalked it upon the blackboard to that effect, and Kitefoot was loudly applauded. The race was then virtually over, as Thompson was done, as well he might be, for he had went three corking heats. I won the next in 2:28|- and the fifth heat and race in 2:30-|-, She went into winter quarters in good order and I win- tered her as I did the previous year. In the spring she came out in good shape for her as she was not a mare that could go out and show you much speed without preparation. We all 100 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. know some horses always have their speed, but she was not one of that kind, her speed came with her work, and she had to be properly conditioned before she was at an edge. I did not pay any attention to trials with her, just simply gave her the proper work and care, and when the race came she was ready to do her part and give you a good race for the money. This proved to be the case in her first race in the spring of 1887, which took place at Hartford, Conn., June 14th. She was en- tered in the 2:19 class, in which was J. B. Thomas, 2:18^ , Billy Button, 2:18|-, and Libby S., 2:19L This race was quite in- teresting, as the public had several surprises and disappoint- ments. Libby S. was supposed to be the winner beyond a doubt as she had on May 20th at Belmont Park, Philadelphia, trotted a great race and made a record of 2:19L My mare was high in flesh and I did not care to give her a hard race. I guess Turner felt about the same about Button. Libby S. went out and won the first heat in 2:19L That made her so strong a favorite that the betting came to a stand still. S. W. and I had played a little money on the short end because it was cheap, and I think Turner had done the same, as we said to each other, " We can't lose much and something may hap- pen,'' and there did in the second heat, for Libby S. threw a shoe and was distanced. Thomas won the heat in 2:20^, and then he was about as big a favorite as Libby S. had been pre- viously. The Libby S. delegation was trying to get their money back on him. He won the third heat in 2:20f. In the fourth heat the three horses were well bunched and I was willing on my part that Thomas should win the heat and race, but he tired soon after we rounded into the stretch and Turner moved up and won the heat in 2:23^. When we came out for the fifth heat I said to the boys, " It is now or never ; I am going to move up and see if I can win a heat." So when we got the word I went right at Button and Turner and they showed fight ; the heat was very exciting, first one showed in front and then the other, but I won by half a length in 2:21|. EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. IOI After Turner won the fourth heat with Button he became quite a favorite, and my winning this heat with Kitefoot was another disappointment to the people. But it did not change the betting, as the time was slow. I did not feel like putting much money on Kitefoot, as I did not consider her in condi- tion to stay up and trot a bruising race. I have many times seen horses knocked off for a whole year by giving them a hard race early in the season, especially if it was the first one. But we got a little at loggerheads and both wanted to win, and when I looked over matters I found it made a difference in my favor of between three and four hundred dollars, if I won the race, so I decided to go out and fight for it to the bitter end, and it looked as though Turner felt the same way, for he drove as I have always seen him drive when he is out for the money. But I won the heat by a length in 2:244. When we came out for the seventh heat I overheard Turner say, " God, how I would like to win this next heat and keep them guessing a little longer,'' and if you ever saw a man put on the war paint and spit on his hands it was Turner driving Button in that seventh heat. He lifted, hurrahed, pumped, pushed and crowded Button every inch of the road, and as both horses were good actors and it was getting nearly dark, they both indulged in many a jump and neither of us tried to break the lines, when they broke ; in fact, it was a sort of a go-as-you-please heat, but I won it by a short neck in 2:23|, and as we came back to the stand and got out I spoke and said, " I am glad this is over.'' The General replied, " So am I, and you bet these horses are, too." I have neglected to say in the first part of this race for three heats I was laying up, just barely getting inside the dis- tance flag. Consequently this race did not injure my mare much, as she was only driven the last three heats and they were slow. In my judgment it is the pace that kills and in this race I believe that one heat in 2:20 would have done her more harm than the three slow heats I gave her. The next morning after the race she was bright as a dollar, not seeming 102 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. to be any worse for the race. We had of course given her extra good care during the night, as I felt as though she had paid for it with her own money. The next week, June 24th, I started her at Island Park, Albany, in the 2:19 class, in which was Billy Button and Elec- tric, 2:20. This race was not of much interest as Billy But- ton or Electric did not seem to be right that day. Button won the first heat in 2:25^, and Kitefoot won the next three heats and race in 2:23, 2:22^ and 2:21*, which were just nice repeats for the mare and put her in good form for her race the next week, June 29th, at Poughkeepsie. This looked as though it would be a grand race and a great betting race. Kenilworth was in and reported to be going fast. J. B. Thomas, report said, had went a mile over Fleetwood in 2:19 the week before. The race at Hart- ford had seemed to have conditioned and done him good. He certainly seemed to be in the pink essence of form. There also started Electric, 2:20 ; Spofford, 2:19|, and Lady Bare- foot. In the betting Kenilworth would bring as much and some- times more than all the rest. There was considerable money played in that way. When the bell rang they all appeared on the track and warmed up, but Murphy seemed to think that Kenilworth was not just right and concluded the race would do him more harm than good, so he drew him. That made a difference with me financially. Kenilworth being drawn the pools on him were declared off ; that made the pools very light, as the largest end of the money was on Kenilworth. I had played my mare some before Kenilworth was drawn, as I had great confidence in her ability to do that party, though she had not shown a mile better that 2:22^ that spring. The betting now came to a stand still. People did not seem to know just what to do. They seemed to be waiting to see the horses go a heat. We went off and I laid up the first heat to see who could and who could not go. Was in hopes the bet- ting would improve after the first heat, providing it was won EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. IO3 in good time. J. B. Thomas won the heat easily in 2:2l£, as there was no horse that could make him go faster. This heat did not seem to excite the people any, so I made up my mind to go along and win it. I concluded first money was about all I would get out of it. When we got the word in the sec- ond heat I moved along up to J. B. Thomas, and before 1 had got to the half-mile pole I made up my mind I had quite a job on my hands to beat him. Every time I moved up he seemed to slide away from me. I thought he could go just about as fast as he liked, but I kept hammering away at him, as Kite- foot was a mare that I could commence to drive as soon as I got the word and kept at it all the way, and seemed to go a little faster every time I spoke to her or touched her with the rein or whip. I want to tell you that kind of horses are very scarce. J. B. Thomas went to the half-mile pole in 1:08. I was about a length and a half back of him, but as we neared the three- quarter pole I had crept up and lapped him. When we fairly straighted into the stretch I was about on even terms with him. By this time I was satisfied I could beat him the heat. Then the thought struck me, " Had I not better let Thomas win the heat," for I knew it would be quite a little faster than the one before and might help the betting. Little did I think it would be trotted better than 2:18 or he would have won it, I assure you, for it would have been just a little easier to have lost the heat than to have won it. I went all the way to the wire undecided. First I would think, I'll take the heat, then again I'll lose it ; but finally I said to myself, " I'll win it,'* and gave my mare a crack with the whip and done so. But in less than two minutes I was sorry for it. My son was there and had my watch. He timed the heat and was the first one that got to me. As I dismounted he said, " Pa, pa, that was a fast heat ; it was better than 2:17." I said, " Pshaw, young man, you have not got that right.'' And I didn't think he had, for I had never seen the mare go a smoother mile in my life, and let me tell you, that is when they go fast miles. You cannot have much friction and trot in 2:16 or 2:18. I looked at his 104 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. watch and he had it 2:16f. By that time several others had got to me and said, "Jack, you are out of your class unless you have some friend in the stand. 1 ' Then one of my men, Gus Smythe, stepped up and said, " Fred is right ; I have got it 2:16^, and you better get for the stand or you will get a mark that you will not like." So I started for the judges and begged and pleaded, almost on my knees ; and I guess I would have humbled myself in that manner if I could have got them to have hung out 2:18}, but they said 2:17} was the outside watch, the others having it faster, and some did have it 2:16^-. They put it out 2:1 7}. That did me much harm, as I wanted to trot the mare through the big Circuit in the 2:19 class, and as it was it put me in the free-for-all. From this out I won the race easy, as Thomas could not make me go a heat faster than 2:21 and 2:23. The next week I brought her home and trotted her at Phcenix July 4th for a little sure money against Sally C, 2:17}, pacer. That done her more harm than the money done me good, as the track was very hard and rough. It seemed to sore her, and it took me two or three weeks to get her over it. It was a very poor half-mile track, and consequently it was slow time, she winning the race in 2:28, 2:27 and 2:25. But I entered her down the line in the free-for-all class, com- mencing at Cleveland July 28 and 29, against Charles Hilton, 2:17}, Arab, 2:15, Maud Messenger, 2:16}, and J. O., 2:17}. This was a hard race. J. O. won the first heat in 2:174/, the third heat in 2:18, Arab winning the second heat in 2:18}, fourth in 2:17f, and the fifth and race in 2:16^-. Charles Hil- ton got third money and Kitefoot fourth. The next week, August 5th, we came to Buffalo, where I met Arab, J. Q., Charles Hilton, and Phil. Thompson, 2:16*1. Arab again winning the race, this time in three straight heats in 2:17}, 2:19 and 2:18|. I just being able to beat Phil. Thompson for fourth money. The next week, August 21st, we again tried conclusions with the same field of horses, except Bessie, 2:17, who joined EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 105 us there. My mare had improved some by this time. This race was strung out and kept the boys guessing about all the afternoon. Arab won the first heat in 2:18. The race looked a little checkered as the betting fluctuated between Arab and J. Q. as favorite — it would be first one and then the other, but J. O. finally pulled it off in 2:18|, 2:17£ and 2:18±. I got third money as I was able this time to beat Charles Hilton. The next week, August 19th, at Utica, I began to like my mare a little better and put some money on her at long odds in her favor. We had quite a tough race between J. O., Charles Hilton and myself. Phil. Thompson was also in, but was not much good. Charles Hilton won the first heat in 2:20^. Some time in'the forepart of the race I thought J. O. was giving me the shoe, that means was willing I should win it. I said, " All right, boys, I am willing to take it and I have room in my clothes for the money." But later on I did not think J. O. could beat me if he wanted to for Splan drove him in the deciding heat with that old-fashioned war whoop of his from start to finish, but he never came any nearer than my wheel. I won the race, trotting the second heat in 2:19f . The third heat was won by J. O. in 2:20. Kitefoot won the fourth heat in 2:21^, and the fifth in 2:18f. There was quite a feeling over the race as some people thought Splan was not trying to win it with J. Q. Counselor Crawford and Splan had a hot discussion, the Counselor seemed to think Splan did not treat him just right, and de- clared right there he would get even with Splan the first opportunity, which he did the following week, August 27th, at Albany. When we arrived at Island Park we held a coun- cil of war the morning of the race. We decided to go out in the afternoon and try to beat J. Q., who was quite a favorite in the betting at the club house in the forenoon. Four of us — General Turner, Knapp, McCarthy, Counselor Crawford and myself — thought we were capable of doing J. Q. and his talented driver. The Counselor was appointed master of cere- monies, as he knew J. Q. and John Splan better than any one 106 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. else of the party. He said he would give more to down that pair than anything else he knew of just at that particular time. He gave each of us a particular part to do and when to do it. In drawing for positions Charles Hilton drew the pole, J. Q. second, Astral third, Spofford fourth, Kitefoot out- side. If a horse ever got haseracted it was J. Q. Splan al- ways gave him a long score, went well up the stretch half-way to the three-quarter pole nearly every time. We would go up to the first distance and when J. Q. would get under full headway we would turn and come down with him, but some one of the horses would be on a break or out of his place every time, consequently we would not get the word. My mare was in fault many times, being on the outside of the track and it was very hard. She was also a little shy of the tent over the pool stand. The judges got out of patience with us, called us to the stand and gave us some terrible turn- ing overs, but nevertheless we had our orders and were sworn to obey them. In this way we scored seventeen or eighteen times before we got the word. The judges finally called me up, seeming to think I was to blame, and reprimanded me pretty severely and wanted to know what we were trying to do. I endeavored to bring a smile over their faces by saying I did not know what the rest were trying to do, but for my part I was out for the money. But no smile appeared, for they had exhausted their good nature. We finally got the word and about thirty rods below the stand Charles Hilton broke and ran right head and head with J. O. clear to the first turn, which is a long distance from the stand on this track. When they got there the Counselor seemed to forget to turn. He kept going out until he got J. O. nearly to the outside of the track and then he broke, too, and Astral slipped through on the inside and opened a big gap. When J. Q. caught he cut loose after Astral with a wonderful burst of speed and overhauled her at the three-quarter pole. There J. Q. broke again and Astral won the heat in 2:19. The General and myself had went a very easy heat, both' laying EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 107 up. The heat had very evidently told on J. O., which, of course, was according to our calculation. The judges distanced Charles Hilton for fouling J. Q., but the Counselor was still on the field in command, and did not leave a stone unturned which would be in our favor. He said, " Let Astral carry him another heat and that will do him. Keep putting the money on Kitefoot and lay her up one more heat." We obeyed orders. Knapp & Splain fought out the next heat on the same line, J. Q. winning the heat by an eyelash in. 2:21. Then the Counselor said. "Go and look at. him ; if he can beat any one from this out I am willing to lose my money.'' He called Frank Van Ness to go and look at the horse, as he had formerly handled him and knew him well. Frank agreed with the Counselor that he was done. In the next heat the General and I both moved, and it was a tough heat all the way, but at the distance box J. Q. gave it up and we both beat him, I getting to the wire first, but the judges after a little consultation, gave the heat to Spofford on account of a break my mare made in the stretch ; time, 2:21. Then the trouble was over, for I won the fourth, fifth and sixth heats in 2:22f , 2:22|- and 2:22^. But after the fourth heat the judges seemed to be all at sea without a compass ; they did not appear to know what was going on. They called Splan in the stand and talked of taking him out. Crawford and James Temple, the owner of J. Q., were in the stand at the same time, and it appeared as though they were about to put on the gloves, but the judges stopped them, and as they came out of the stand Splan said to me, " I am having a pretty tough day of it with you people getting my money and the judges seeming to think ] am not trying to win ; I hardly know how I will come out.'' But as that old saying is, li There is always a calm after a storm." The storm passed and we got the money. I don't believe the judges to this day are satisfied with the race. They still think Splan was not trying to win, but we know he was, and that he and Jimmy Temple lost their Io8 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. money, for they had no chance to get it off, as after the third heat the Counselor and my friend McNally made Kitefoot such a favorite that they could not hedge their money out. The next week we all went to Hartford, Conn., and the same field started, except Bessie, 2:17^, took the place of As- tral. We commenced to put some money on Spofford, think- ing he could beat J. Q., but he was not quite himself and the betting was so bad we did not get but very little on him. Kitefoot won the first heat in 2:20, Spofford the fourth in 2:21, and J. O. the second in 2:18, third in 2:17-[, and the fifth and race in 2.21J. Kitefoot second, Spofford third and Charles Hilton fourth money. This virtually ended Kitefoot's career on the turf, as I did not start her at Springfield the next week. She was in- jured in a railroad accident on the way to New York the fol- lowing week after the Springfield meeting, which ended her career on the turf, and she has been retired for breeding purposes. Mambrino Dudley came into my hands in 1877. If I could have had him before he had been through so many hands and seen so much breeding service, I think I could have driven him as fast a mile as any stallion ever went. I think if there ever was a horse that could go a two-minute gait on a trot he could. I think he will be the sire of a family of trot- ters when his colts get age. The day I gave him his record of 2:19|- was a cold, raw day — the second of November. I con- sidered the day and slow track was at least against him three or four seconds. His breeding is superb and the gentleman that owns him, General B. F. Tracy, proprietor of Marshland Stock Farm, may well be proud of him and his progeny, for as surely as blood tells will he place his sons and daughters high up in the temple of fame, successful competitors with the best and bluest blooded animals in the land. The Lysander family, of which I have had considerable experience, has carried me through many a hard-fought battle successfully, as fast performers, and profitable campaigners EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 109 financially — Lysander Boy, Lysander Maid, Lysander Girl, Wm. Kearney and Watt completes the list. They are not a family that develop speed young, families differ very much in that respect. Watt could only show about a two-forty clip until he was eight years old. Then he began to show signs of more speed and I began to think I would get paid for waiting. When he was seven I won two good races with him and money enough to pay his oat bill. In 1888 he was a gen- uine race horse, reducing his record to 2:2-±f, and earned me money enough to buy a pretty fair horse, wagon and harness, a few barrels of flour and several tons of coal. In the fall I sold him for a pretty fair price to parties in Germany, where he will contend for honors and wealth for his owner. I ship- ped him on the 9th of January, 1889, in company with James G., 2:20£, and Jose S., 2:22|-. They are in the same stable as Van Buren Girl, 2:25}, Lynwood, 2:20}, Blue Belle, 2:20, Julia C, 2:23f, Bob Johnson, 2:27}, and 2:22| to saddle, Pat Demp- sey, 2:27}, Tourist Boy, 2:32}, Jessie Hammond, 2:25}, Trou- ble, 2:24f, Lysander Belle, 2:33}, Lysander Girl, 2:35}, Ada E. C, 2:28, and four brood mares with colts by their side. All of which I have purchased and shipped to one party, and he has had the best stable in Europe, in the past four years. To another party in Austria, who has always been the leading man on the turf in his vicinity, I purchased and shipped Amber, 2:25^; Francis Alexander, 2:19; Young Am- ber and three brood mares. It is not any easy matter to send horses so long a trip by rail and water and have them land at their destination in good order. I always take a good deal of pains in shipping them. I load them very different from the way they formerly were shipped. I always send them by the German Lloyd steamers, which is as good a line as ever crossed the ocean. After engaging passage for my horses I look up the stevedore, that is the man who has charge of loading that line of vessels. I have him assign me a good roomy place to arrange my stalls, which are built on the steer- age deck where steerage passengers are accommodated emi- 110 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. grating to the United States. Mr. H. B. Kirkham, the ship carpenter, has always done my work as he thoroughly under- stands the business and is very reliable and will follow in- structions. I have him build a regular box-stall about ten feet square, with a good feed manger, and an extra partition with a groove in each end to slide in the boards to make a narrow stall, just wide enough for the horse to stand up in. I put a heavy pad in front and another behind, with two heavy pieces of canvas about six inches wide with ropes at each end to make what we call a sling — one to go just in front of the hind legs and the other back of the front legs. The ropes being attached above the horse and being drawn up just close enough to keep the horse from falling down in case of a storm or rough weather. But in pleasant weather the horse is al- lowed the liberty of the box-stall, with plenty of nice fresh sawdust, changed every day, for a bed. I have had a number of horses that went the entire voyage in the box-stall, not having to be put in the narrow stall or sling, and they have actually gained from twenty-five to thirty pounds on the trip. We always put on board plenty of good hay in bales, say one hundred and twenty-five pounds to a horse ; oats, soft feed, usually fine ships. We usually feed very lightly on grain the first few days out, giving them plenty of hay ; then if the weather is good and the horse keeps well and has a good ap- petite, we increase the feed to about what they have been in the habit of having at home. 1 have never had but one horse that anything happened to. That was Jessie Hammond, seven years old, and one of the cleverest, best dispositioned horses I ever knew. He was a grand, good race horse with a record of 2:25^. I put him aboard as I always had the other horses. He seemed to be all right and in good health, was not at all nervous or fright- ened when we put him in the box to lower him down into the hold, but as soon as the vessel got up steam and moved away from the dock he commenced to tremble, puff and blow and kept it up for three days. He would not eat a mouthful of EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. I I I feed or drink a drop of water and died on the fourth day out with nervous prostration. I have had trouble with other horses in loading them and putting them in the box. It is rather a frightful place to put a horse, as they are lowered down three stories into the hold. But when out of the box in the stall they seem to be as quiet and contented as if in their own stable on the land. In fact, some will go the whole trip, if the weather is good, as well as could be wished ; will lie down and get their rest, get up and ■walk around, eat and drink as usual, and when taken out of the vessel at Bremen it could not be told by their looks that the\' had been shipped a mile. Others will act dull and stupid, will not lie down and will stand up the entire trip ; they will not eat or drink. It will take such horses from one to two weeks to recover from the voyage. Some seem to lose the use of themselves and are stiff and sore all over. One three- year-old colt I sent over had a good passage, was only ten days on the route. When they took him off the vessel at Bremen he did not seem to have a joint in his legs and could not lift his feet high enough to step over an inch board. He staid in that condition about forty-eight hours before he seemed to have any use of himself. They thought he was en- tirely ruined, but he recovered in about two weeks all right and seemed to be as well as ever and has made a good hofse. He was a colt by Amber, called Young Amber, bred by Wal- ter Pendergast of Phoenix. I sold him to Mr. Smith of Vienna, Austria, who bought Old Amber and trotted him through Europe so successfully, as he was the best horse across the water for the first years after he arrived. I have had a number that have landed there, their desti- nation being about eight hundred miles from the seaport, that were fit to trot a race in ten days after their arrival. It is surprising to know that these horses have done as well as they have when we take into consideration the tracks which they have to go over. Most of the tracks are of grass. They just stake them out with poles, setting them endways 112 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. in the ground about thirty feet apart, laying out their track in that way being oblong shape. Very few of their races are like ours — three out of five. They go dashes of a mile and a quarter or one and three- quarters, and from that to four miles. As they only go one heat, they often trot a horse two races in one afternoon. In classing their horses they do not pay any attention to record, but handicap them according to their speed, giving one say thirty rods the start of a faster animal. In a two and a half mile race they may give one horse a start of a quarter of a mile over another, which is discretionary with the judges. Many times when seven or eight horses start in one race no two horses start from the same place, they will be strung out with a man to each horse with a flag and start all at the same time at the drop of the several flags. Another feature of their peculiar custom is, they will al- low one man to start several horses in the same race by entering them in different people's name. A man might have one fast horse and one slow one, thinking his slow one might get so much benefited from the handicap that if he did not win first money with the fast horse he might second, and get first with the slower one. I know one case where my friend started Bob Johnson and Blue Bell in the same race. Bob Johnson had so much the start that he had the race of two and a fourth miles won before Blue Bell got half-way to the wire. I can only compare some of their tracks there to our steeplechase courses here— through the field, up and down the hill, round the sap bush and home again. All the difference I can see is that their horses do not have to go over the fences, ditches and water jump as steeplechasers do. They are now building some good tracks on the Ameri- can plan. My friend Stein tells me they are building one at Berlin. I sent them a Griffin track machine, which is the only one built which will put a track in perfect order. They expect to have some great races there this year. One of their purses amounts to $7,000. They ought to have a large entry of EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. I 13 good horses, as Billy Reading of Cuba has been to Kentucky buying several fine ones to send by Charles Dickerman when he returns. They are going to a man who lives in France who purchased last year Mollie Wilkes and Misty Morning. They will have to contend with several good ones from my ship- ments, one of them the chestnut mare Blue Belle. Everyone here that was acquainted with her knows that she was one of the greatest race horses that America ever produced. Ken- dall, her driver, and Blue Belle, had the reputation of being the greatest pair of half-mile track goers that the world ever saw. They were a terror to all competitors. The last season she was here they were barred out of the Vermont Circuit, where she had been in the habit of going every year and get- ting all the money. If she had not been expelled from the National Association for trotting out of her class and under an assumed name, $10,000 would not have bought her, but she was no good for trotting purposes here on that account. I bought her for half of that amount. Her being disqualified here did not affect her trotting career in Europe, as they have not framed any regular trot-ting rules as yet over there. She has been a terror to all other competitors in France, Austria, Italy and Germany, and has beat all the other horses im- ported, even those that have cost double her purchase price. She has won every big purse that she has started for, conse- quently it has been a great card for me, and has been the means of my selling a number of other horses. But it is a pretty hard matter to find another Blue Belle in this country or any other, for she was always ready and willing to trot a good race about four times a week over any kind of track and all kinds of weather. I am creditably informed that her owner has refused $12,000 for her. She has won over $20,- 000 for him in the last two years and a half. Van Buren Girl has been equally as good a race mare, but not as fast, as Blue Belle, and has earned him fully as much money, having one more season's campaigning to her credit, he having bought her a year prior to Blue Belle's advent on 114 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. European tracks. He would not sell her to day for double the money he gave me for her. Pat Dempsey also has been a grand, good race horse and has earned a good deal of money for his owner. He was sold for $3,500 to parties in South America, which is a great deal more money than I received for him. In fact, he has had chances to sell all the horses I have purchased for him at very large profits, which I am very glad to hear, as he is a very nice gentleman, plucky and full of nerve force, and deserves all the good luck which has come to him in his trans Atlantic horse ventures, for I have sold him many thousand dollars' worth of horses — and he never sees them for a long time after he has paid for them — and there has never been any kicking or fault-finding. CHAPTER VIII. SHOEING. Examples : King Almont, Lilly Langtry, Lady Whitefoot and Elmonarch. The most important and essential point to be looked after and studied is the foot. It makes no difference how good or how speedy a horse you have, if his feet is not right he will not and cannot trot to any mark which will be a credit to himself or his trainer. The foot is the foundation of the horse and has to be properly shod to protect and keep it good. I have often heard it remarked by people that if some particular way of shoeing was effectual in remedying some defect of a bad foot, it also ought to be successful in protect- ing and keeping in order a good or perfect foot. For instance, a bar shoe is a protection to the quarters if it is properly put on, the bearing is on the frog which was designed by the con- struction of the foot to protect the heel, as it is a cushion of a spongy, elastic nature and very hard to injure. The heel strikes the ground first when moving fast or slow, and the greater the speed the harder the blow and concussion. In every horse that has a healthy foot the frog is higher than the quarters. This can be observed when they are in a state of nature before they are shod. Follow out nature's laws in shoeing, see that the wall of the foot is protected and let the frog take care of the sole. There is many a trotter loaded down either with a heavy shoe or toe weight to make them go square and stay on a trot, when if they were properly shod, so as to protect the sole of the foot, in many cases they would not need one-half of the weight and would go many seconds faster. Many horses get the name of being quitters, when the facts are it is caused by Il6 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. punishment from concussion and not from a faint heart, the foot not being properly protected. I really think the Lockey pad one of the greatest discoveries of the age as a protection to the foot of a horse. It is a piece of heavy leather, going over the entire foot. It is kept in place by the nails of the shoe, at the toe, and is rivited at the heels when used with an open shoe. A wet sponge is placed under the leather next to the foot, with the thickest part across the heel over the frog. That adds to the elasticity of the frog and also protects the entire sole of the foot. Some people object to the pad on ac- count of the damp sponge. It being confined causes a sour, bad smell and they argue it will rot the foot. But it will not if it is properly cared for, as follows: Once or twice a week take some diluted carbolic acid, raise your leather a little with a foot pick and pour some in, which will cleanse and purify it. I many times use the pad with a bar shoe. In that case it is not necessary to rivit it, as the bar will keep it in place. I have in some cases used oakum instead of a sponge, but I prefer the latter, as the oakum gets dry and hard very soon. The sponge is moist, soft and keeps the foot nearest to the state of nature of anything I have ever tried. There are ex- ceptions in all cases, for I have had horses that were not bene- fited with the Lockey pad or any device that covered the sole of the foot. They would not or could not go a bit with it on. They seemed to want all the pressure on the wall of the foot and the frog. In these cases I used a bar shoe, and have it well concaved on the under side, reaching nearly to the nails, so as not to touch the sole in any place, bringing the bearing on the outer shell and frog and putting a heavy piece of Kersey around under the shoe. It should usually be about half an inch wide. This would make a great difference in the speed of my horse, ranging from three to five seconds better than any other way I could shoe them. Blacksmiths seem to have a mania to cut and carve a horse's foot, as much as a Yankey enjoys whittling a pine stick with a sharp knife. They will carve out the sole, rasp off the toe, open up the heel, as they EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. I 1 7 term it — that is, cut out a notch each side of the frog — and will tell you that spreads the foot, when the facts are that will cause the foot to contract more than any one thing that can be done to it. The sole is intended as a protection and brace to hold the foot out in its proper form. Nature made a provision for expansion in that natural seam in the centre of the frog. Spreading the heel in any other part causes an in- jury. My experience is that a large majority of horses will go better with a good length of toe. Many times I have left the toe so long it looked outlandish and awkward, but they could go enough faster to overbalance that criticism. In these cases I left the heel of good heighth, so as to proportion the foot and prevent injuring the back tendons. There are cases where the sole is apparently stronger than the wall and should be shod with a level bearing, the web being of good width and touching the sole and wall equally all the way round, so as to prevent the wall spreading from the sole. A good black- smith, one that is fit to shoe a good horse, will be able to de- cide this point if your mind is not clear about it. There are horses that will go better with a tip for a short time — I will limit it to a month or thereabout. All the bene- fit derived from a tip is to prevent the peeling up of the wall at the toe and giving a full sole and frog pressure. But if used any length of time there is danger of injury to the back tendons if they have severe work, especially over a hard track, consequently you should watch your horse carefully, and if you should discover any tendency to soreness remove the tips and put on the shoes at once. In most cases you will see an improvement in your horse by the change. Put on the tips as heretofore explained in regard to colts. Many horses have the habit of forging and scalping, which is a cause ef much annoyance and trouble many times to remedy the fault. Most people think the horse hits the toe of the hind shoe against the heel of the front shoe, but that is not the case, as nine-tenths of the horses that forge or click, as it is many times called, strike the toe of their hind I 1 8 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. shoe against the inside of the toe of the shoe on the front foot, which is caused by the horse not getting his front feet out of the way. In these cases, if you will put on a shoe in front with the most of the weight in the heel, that is a good wide web two-thirds of the distance from the heel to the toe on each side of it, and cut it out around the toe very nar- row and light, your horse will pick up his feet much quicker and get them out of the way of his hind feet. With some horses that have been wearing toe weights and scalps bad, try a shoe with all the weight you can get in the toe ; turn the point of the toe up a little, taking away the toe of the foot so as to fit the shoe ; round off the toe with a file similar to an old shoe that has been worn — that will make them break over quicker and go clear. If either of these do not correct the fault, put on both feet behind a shoe that is about as heavy again on the outside as the inside, leaving the outside heel about half an inch longer at least than the inside ; that will make him go wider behind and they will pass the forward feet without any interference. It is safe to say that eight out of ten horses that can go fast wear this kind of shoe behind, ranging in weight from six to eight ounces. It is the best shoe you can use on a horse that interferes behind, and unless he is a very bad confirmed knocker, it will cure him. Many horses get the habit of going a little sideways be- hind ; that is, going with one hind foot in between the for- ward feet, which causes them to hitch behind, as it is called, and making them rough gaited. This is a habit that is con- tracted by a majority of horses, both young and old, who are being worked to develop speed, more especially new beginers. No horse can go fast until this habit is corrected. In most cases of this kind the horse has more stride with one front foot than with the other. The usual way of remedying this fault, with most people, is to put a heavy shoe on the outside of the hind foot, that goes -in, which will correct the fault in many cases. If your horse goes inside with his right hind EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. I 19 foot, you will find that he has more stride with the opposite or left forward foot, and if you add to the weight of the left forward shoe one and a half to two and a half ounces, and I have added as high as four ounces, that will make an equal stride of the front feet, which must cause an equal stride of the hind feet. If you are carrying all the weight that is neces- sary reduce the weight of the right forward, shoe in the same ratio as above directed, which will produce the same result. If they go between with the left hind foot reverse the above in- struction. After the horse gets age and is thoroughly gaited he will in most cases go with a shoe of equal weight in front. While this is the easiest and best way to remedy this fault, it is also the best for your horse, as the weight necessary to cor- rect it is carried by the forward feet and thereby relieves the hind legs, and as they are the propelling power to drive the machinery and draw the weight, they consequently should not carry one ounce more than is necessary to protect the foot until every other means is exhausted in perfecting your horse's gait. In my whole experience I have found but one horse that I was compelled to load behind, and that was after experimenting for over a year with every other means without success. That was over ten years ago and with my knowl- edge to-day I believe if I had him now I could regulate his gait without weighting him so heavy behind. The easiest way to ascertain the amount of weight which it is necessary to carry is by experimenting with stick-fast toe weights ranging in weight from one to four ounces, as it can easily be attached by a small screw ; put on your light weight first and move your horse a little ways, and if his gait is improved but not quite perfect, remove the light weight and put on one that is heavier and keep trying until his gait is right, and then put the weight in the shoe, which is the cor- rect way, but if your horse is in the habit of carrying toe- weights you might carry the weight that way, using one heavier on one foot than the other. But I prefer the weight in the shoe, because he is always balanced whether going fast 120 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. or slow either on the road or track, and his muscles are hard- ened and accustomed to carrying that amount of weight. In using weights a horse has all his slow work without them, and they are only put on when you are going to give your horse fast work. I believe that is the cause of their doing so much injury. In case of .interfering forward — ankles, shins or a bad knee hitter — they can be benefitted greatly by shoeing. If it is in winter, on slippery roads, and you are obliged to use caulks, instead of using one toe caulk, and that in the centre of the shoe, use two, one each side of the centre of the toe of the shoe, about one and a half inches apart. That. will make them break over on the toe square without any flop, conse- quently they will not hit either ankles, shins or knees. In the summer season, when you are using a plain shoe without caulks, instead of making the shoe round square it across the toe. That will make them pick up the foot square and go clear, as most horses that hit themselves pick their feet up with a flop, either in or out. They are what we call loaferish gaited. Many times it is well to have your shoe turned with about a third more weight on the outside than the inside. Have your blacksmith file away the inside edge of the shoe all it will bear, but keep the foot round and of perfect form, as a horse's leg must be in the centre of the foot and the foot level. Do not straighten either side of your horse's foot to prevent hitting or allow one side of the foot to be higher than the other, as either way is liable to enlarge the ankle joint and produce lameness. In this case have your nails counter- sunk, instead of creasing the shoe, as then you can file the edge of the shoe below the bearing. If the shoe is creased the edge is flush and that is what does the cutting or bruising of your horse. In shoeing a colt the first time it is well to follow nature's laws as near as possible. Accordingly his first set of shoes should be very light and all of one weight forward and behind EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 121 if he is a natural gaited trotter or pacer. Do not use a shoe weighing over five or six ounces on a yearling or two-year-old. With this manner of shoeing you do not unbalance your colt. The shoes are simply to protect the wall of the foot and leaves his gait natural, until he gets used to wearing shoes. Then you can experiment with stickfast weights after he has ac- quired muscle and strength to learn what change is needed, if an}\ to regulate his gait. Many times no change is neces- sary and if there is any made it will be a detriment instead of an improvement. Leave the colt's gait natural for a short time, and if he does not improve in speed and you are satisfied that nature wants assistance and he requires more weight in front, add the weight either by toe-weights or in the shoe. Two or three ounces on each front foot is sufficient at first unless your colt is rough and bad gaited and inclined to pace and you want him to trot. In such cases, many times, you will have to use double that amount of weight. If your colt is carrying heavy weight be sure and not speed him but a short distance at a time, as it will soon tire and spoil him. A colt or a horse will carry more weight in the shoe alone than divided between the shoe and a toe-weight, and carry it further, faster and easier without injury to the animal. More good horses are spoiled by the use of toe-weights than any one thing, and still we have to use them, and the man that knows when they are necessary and when not is the man that has success. The experience I had with Lilly Langtry, 2:23^, will illus- trate my theory of equal weight shoes. She could show great natural speed in the field or to the halter barefooted — in a state of nature. I broke her in the winter, there was snow on the ground and the roads were soft. I drove her for some time without shoes ; she was good gaited and showed plenty of speed, but when the roads began to get icy and hard I was compelled to get her .shod. I sent her to the shop with orders 122 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. to my man to get her shod light, did not mention any exact weight. He had a pound shoe put on in front and an eight- ounce behind. When I came to drive her she seemed to be entirely changed in her gait and could not go a little bit. I only drove her once or twice and then took her back to the shop and replaced the pound in front with an eight-ounce shoe, which made them the same weight as those behind. The first time I hitched her she went right away natural, and in fact, could always show more speed shod that way than any other ; but, of course, when I commenced to trot her I had to use a little heavier shoe to protect her feet. This would apply to many horses if adopted, as I think many that are great lot trotters are prevented from being track trotters by poor shoeing the first time in allowing the blacksmith to use his own judgement. You should go to the shop with your horse yourself, see that his foot 'is properly leveled without cutting or carving, rasping the toe or lower- ing the heels any more than is necessary. Weigh your shoes, see that the shoe is level and fits the foot. An hour's time spent in seeing that your colt is properly shod the first time will save you months to regain what you have lost by neglect in this one thing. Instead of being unbalanced by carrying more weight at one end than the other, which must seem very awkward and clumsy to your colt at first, and I believe this is the cause of so many field trotters being harness tied, as it is usually called. In case you are training a horse that has to carry a shoe of good weight, say sixteen or twenty ounces, you naturally would like to reduce that weight, and of course it will lessen in weight by natural wear more on some coltsthan others, but keep that shoe on your horse as long as he appears to be bal- anced with it. When it is necessary to remove your shoes weigh them to see how much they have reduced, which should not be more than two ounces in a month, on ordinary soil, where there is not much grit. It is rare that a horse will miss this gradual reduction and will go faster and better. If this EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 1 23 is the case keep him in those shoes as long as it is safe to use them without breaking. In putting on a new shoe add two ounces, as follows: If it is worn away to twelve ounces make the new shoe fourteen. The new shoe feels different, conse- quently it is well to add the extra weight. If you have an engagement in the near future in a race have your black- smith file off the toe of the shoe similar to the old one, as I have seen many a race lost by changing shoes a day or two prior. I said heretofore that a shoe wears away more on some soils than others, consequently you should watch your shoes so as not to be caught. Some tracks will wear a shoe more in one week than in six on others. I will cite a case of my own where I nearly dropped my bundle with King Almont in a race at Boston by his shoes wearing out sq much faster than I had any idea they could. I had him shod just a week to a day before his race, with a pound shoe, which he always wore. The iron was very soft, which was the cause of it. I started him in the race and knew he was in good condition. He was neither short of work or over-worked and I thought he ought to win easy. He was a big favorite — $100 to $40 — and I had put on $<>5(> on him at that odds. When I came to start he seemed to be unbalanced and broke, did not act like himself, and it unbalanced me to find out what was the matter, for I got beat two heats that I tried to win in about 2:26. I knew he was able to trot in 2:22 or 2:23. Then I commenced to look matters over thoroughly. My friend .Ager came hurry- ing up to the stable to know what was the matter, as he was in with my play in the pool box. We had about made up our minds our money was gone. I finally went to my horse and picked up his foot and to my surprise his shoes were worn down almost as thin as a case-knife. My feelings were imme- diately relieved as I could then see what the trouble was. I added three ounces to his toe weight and he went off and won the next heat in 2:24 very easy, and the next two in about the same time. The next day when I changed his 124 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. shoes I found they had worn away one-half in a week. No horse could stand such a great reduction in so short a time. Jock Bowen has often laughed at me about that race, saying I was the worst scared man he ever saw without being hurt, as I had about made up my mind to try and compromise with him and ask him to please not go quite so fast, when the fact was Jock had his money on my horse without my knowledge, as he knew King Almont could win the race. ] will cite another case in the mare Lady Whitefoot, 2:18^-. When she came into my hands she was brushy and speedy, but was unsteady, uneven in her gait ; she would not go over twenty or thirty rods square ; she would then com- mence to hitch, hobble and shive, and unless I would take her right back she would break and run, but was a good breaker, would not make but a few jumps before she would strike a trot and go square for a few strides, and then would commence to scrabble again. I first thought it was on account of her hitting her near hind shin, which she did quite hard, but I soon became satisfied that the trouble was in the balance beam, that is, she was not properly shod. I devoted one afternoon to the shoeing of her. She wore very light shoes, nine or ten ounces in front and about four ounces be- hind. She did not wear any toe-weights. I hitched her to a skeleton wagon and tied her tail up close, and moved her along up to her speed ; as she increased her speed she would begin to go with her near hind foot in between her forward feet. I discovered she had from four to six inches more stride with her right forward foot than her left one, as near as I could judge, that was the cause of her near hind foot going in between the forward feet trying to keep up with that off front foot. I shod her three times that afternoon. I would change her shoes, hitch her up and drive her a little ways and thought I could see a little improvement, but not quite enough ; would come back and change the shoes again, that is, kept filing out a little more weight on the near front shoe. Finally when I found the right front shoe weighed nine and three-quar- EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 1 25 ter ounces and the left one eight, I put the harness on her and went out and moved her again and found, as the boys say, she was four-cornered. She had never showed me a mile before better than 2:33, and the next week she got a record of 2:25|, which shows you what proper shoeing will do when ap- plied to correct some particular fault which takes much study and common sense to be able to tell what the trouble is. Many a good horse has been thrown away as no good that might have trotted fast if they had been properly balanced in shoeing. Lady Whitefoot was improving every time I drove her after changing her shoes. I was not quite ready to go out and win against such horses as Queen Wilkes, 2:23f, Cuba, Edgewood and Jessie Ballard in a race trotted at Hartford September 3d, 1886. Billy Wicks had the Queen and is pretty slick when he is out for the money. I told Mr. A. E. Alvord, the owner of Whitefoot, if he would wait another week I would win the mare out, that is, we would have the mare and the money. Mr. Alvord is a very enthusiastic man over a trotter. He wants them driven for all they are worth if it takes a leg off. He was anxious to see her beat 2:30, as he hardly thought she could. I went off and won the first heat in 2:25|. Billy Wicks and Tommy Carr with Edgewood saw they had to do something to keep me from getting their money. Edgewood could go away from the score fast, would take the track, and Queen Wilkes could go away a little faster than I could, and when she would get to Edgewood, Tommy would let her through inside and when I came Tommy would try and see how close he could make me go to the outside fence without going over it, and in that way Queen Wilkes beat me the second heat in 2:25 ; the third she did not beat me over a head in 2:23^, and the fourth heat in 2:27^, which I gave up at the half as Tommy had me on the fence both sides of the track. The judges distanced him for fouling me. The next week I turned the tables on the Queen at Springfield. W r e did not make as fast time on account of the 126 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. track being soft and slow. It was dollars to buttons that Queen Wilkes would win, and I had quite a handful of the buttons. There was in this race, Sept. 7th, Queen Wilkes, 2:23f ; Univeresy, Cuba and Micado. I done her up in four heats ; time, 2:27, 2:27, 2:26, 2.29f In the last heat I walked home, as some of them would have appeared bad behind the flag. The next week I trotted her another race at Mystic Park, Boston, September 14, which she won very easily. This was her last race in 1886. In 18S7 I won six races with her, reducing her record to 2:24^ without any assistance, except in one race, which was at Springfield, in which my friend Ethel Robinson piloted the little mare the deciding heat, and won it, reducing her record from 2:24| to 2:24|, I have always kept the difference in weight on her for- ward shoes, but have reduced the weight of each shoe about an ounce, and she has always been as good gaited as a horse could be. In 1888 her first race was at Albany, N. Y. She started against Lotta, St. Elmo, Fiction, Silva M. and Gautier. I was determined not to give her a hard race, as it was early in the spring, and she was high in flesh. I did not put any money on her. Mr. Alvord was there, and directed me to win if possible, and win she did. It proved an easy race for her, as the rest of the field was not in very good form. The next week we went to Hartford. I had been informed that we had a hard horse to go against. Black Jack by Sweep- stakes was reported very fast, and if we beat him we would have to go out of our class, which I objected to. I asked Mr. Alvord to stay at home, which he did, but I gave Black Jack a good race, making him reduce his record from 2:24£ to 2:22^-, winning second money, which I was very well satisfied with. Tom King, the secretary, thought I might have won the third heat if the track had been a little wider on the upper turn. I started her another race over at Boston the next week ? EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. \2J just for her entrance money, as I did not think her quite ready to beat such horses as T. T. S. 2:UH. Little Nell 2:19^, and Thorn less 2: 1ST I then brought her home and commenced to prepare her for Cleveland, the initial meeting of the grand circuit. Mr. Alvord and I discussed that race many times before we went there. We made up our minds to-bring about half of Cleve- land home with us if we could win, but when the day of the race came Air. Alvord had missed connections, and did not get there in time to put the money on as he intended to. The little mare done her part, and won the race in four heats, winning the second heat in 2:18], third in 2:1s-', and fourth in 2:1!>, defeating a field of fifteen horses, the pick of the whole country, in the 2:24 class. The field was Newton B., 2:17f ; Roy, • 2:211; Fugue, 2:19£; Banner Boy, 2:25; Hunter, 2:234-; Superior, 2:1 9-\ ; Justina, 2:23^ ; Civilization, 2:25^- ; Jeremiah, 2:22| ; Hinder Wilkes, 2:20| ; Lady Winship, 2:23£ ; William, 2:lSf; Shamrock, 2:25; and Nettle Leaf, 2:234-. I laid her up the first heat, which I think is good judg- ment many times with a horse that is high-geared and recpiires some work to stead}' them. In drawing for place I drew third position. When we got the word I took her back to let the field go on so I could get behind them, as she would go easier in doing so. I interfered with some of the other horses. Mr. Ladd, who was driving Newton B. 2:17f that day, told the owners of his horse after the heat that he did not see what that little chunk of a bay mare was in there for, as she could not beat any one, and if it had not been for her he would have won the heat which went to the credit of Roy in 2:214. I finished thirteenth horse, so in the next heat I had to start in the last end of the gang, and crept through them one bv one, and got to Newton B., who was in the lead at the three- quarter pole. We had a horse race from there home, but the little mare had something left for a finish, and just landed the heat by a head in 2:184-. Then Mr. Ladd changed his opinion of that little dumpling of a bay mare. I want to say 128 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. right here that she is the greatest piece of horse flesh, accord- ing to her size, on earth. I think she can trot a mile, under favorable circumstances, in 2:15. She is only fourteen and a half hands high, and weighs less than eight hundred pounds. After the second heat the thing was all up, as Whitefoot won the next two heats as she pleased in 2:1SJ and 2:10. Mr. Alvord said to me after the race that perhaps he was not the slickest looking man outside in the world, but was probably the happiest man inside that ever lived. He is like many others — a horse looks so much better to him when he wins than he does when he loses. The next week at Buffalo the little mare started a small splint, consequently she was not so good a race mare, but still she was close up to Newton B. in one heat in 2:17^-. The track was very hard and seemed to sting her, consequently she would not stay on a trot. The hard track also put Newton B. on the dry dock for the balance of the season, and com- pelled me also to let up on the little mare three weeks to get the soreness out of her splint. Then I commenced swim- ming her, as I dare not give her any work on the track. The canal being near by I got a row boat, and took two men with' me, one to row the boat, and the other to lead the mare. I took a light pole, eleven feet long, and boared a hole in the end of it, put in a short strap, buckled it into the nose piece of the halter on top of the nose. The man leading the mare got in the stern of the boat. I would find a sloaping bank where she could easily enter the canal. I stood on the bank with my watch out to time them, so she would not be in long enough to tire her at first. The first time she went in she plunged and struggled, was very much frightened, but the man with the pole kept her head up out of the water and could steer her just as he liked. - The first time I kept her in three minutes and brought her ashore, and she puffed and blowed like a porpoise. We scraped the water out of her and throwed the blankets on and walked her five minutes, then pulled the blankets and swam her four minutes again. I EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 1 29 then took her out and scraped the water out and throwed on the blankets, walked her to the stable, which was about half a mile, and by that time she was nearly dried out. The boys done her up just the same as though she had been repeated ; put on the body wash and bandaged her legs ; I worked her in this way for a month every other day, and she got so she liked the water as well as a boy likes to go in swimming. When she got to the bank of the canal she could hardly wait for the men to get in the boat, she would want to plunge right in. After a few days I would give her three plunges, and she would swim eight or nine minutes and would not seem tired at all. This kind of work will take flesh off and clear the wind out, but don't seem to make much leg muscle, but I think it is a very nice way to work a horse that is sore from track work. It will sweat the soreness out of the shoulders or of the muscles of any part of the body and save the feet and legs. Horses that are high in flesh in the spring that have not had much work get muscle sore all over, as the set of muscles that are used at speed have been inactive and out of use during the winter. I had an engagement with Whitcfoot in a $5,000 stake race in the 2:25 class that closed May 1st at New York, and I was anxious'to get my money out. For seven weeks before the race all the work she had on the track was one mile and repeat. I gave her one heat in 2:33 and another in 2:27 the week before the race. She started against Jack, Geneva S., Epph and Superior. Geneva S. won the first and second heats, Jack winning the next three and race. Whitefoot was second to Jack in the third heat in 2:20, and the fourth heat in 2:19^, and was only beaten by about a neck, which gave me third money, $75<», which was good interest on the entrance. $375, with a mare that had been decidedly off. She will probably be heard from hereafter, and will be a danger- ous one in any class in which she starts. Pacers are not unlike trotters, they do not all want shoe- ing alike or working alike. The pacing gait develops speed 130 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. very fast, much faster than the trotter, yet it seems to be more tiresome than the trotting gait, and they seem to re- quire more stiff work to stay them up to go the race out than it does a trotter, and there are very few of them that can carry much weight in the shoe and go a race of heats. You very seldom see a successful race horse in a pacer that wears heavier than a twelve ounce shoe in front, many of them go with less. In February, 1888, I bought the chestnut horse Edwin, 2:24£, of Mr. Baker of Watkins. He had been ex- perimenting considerable to make him trot. He had shown him a mile in 2:34 over a half mile track at that gait. He had given him a record of 2:40 as a four-year-old. I expected to make a trotter of him, still he could show flights of speed on a pace. I used him along until the track got good in the spring on a trot, as in all of his slow work he trots and never offers to pace unless he goes fast. I was using about a four- teen ounce shoe on him in front, and when I would allow him to pace he would brush a little ways fast and then break. He did not seem to be balanced. As soon as he got in condition to take any fast work I put a seventeen ounce shoe on him in front and a six ounce toe weight. When I would start him up on a trot with this weight he would go a short distance at a two-forty gait, then, as soon as I would commence to force him, he would go into a pace and would go fast and steady, so I made up my mind that was just what I wanted to make a pacer of him. The weight kept him steady. I went upon the principle that if a little was good more would be better, so I took off the toe weights and put on a twenty-five ounce shoe, with the weight all in the toe that I could get. Then I gave him two slow repeats, neither mile better than two- forty, with a sharp brush at the finish of the mile, and it seemed as though he could fly. In ten days I removed his shoes and cut two ounces out of each shoe. Then I worked him a week more. I would give him an easy mile and a re- peat, going away slow the first quarter in forty-four seconds, then let him increase his speed and finish the last quarter EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 131 fast, making the mile in about 2:38. I then removed his shoes again and cut out two ounces more, put them back, driving" the nails in the same holes so as not to destroy the foot. I keep on in this way changing his shoes, cutting out from one and a half to two ounces, until I got them down to thirteen ounces in weight. I would of course every week drive him a little faster, but in this gradual reduction he did not seem to miss the weight, and at the end of six weeks he could pace a mile in 2:25 as easy as any horse I ever saw, going the last quarter in thirty-four or thirty-five seconds every time, and never wanted to make a break or mis-step. I then threw away the old shoes and put on a twelve ounce shoe in front and eight ounces behind. In two weeks that shoe wore away to ten and a half ounces, and he could pace a mile in 2:20, the last quarter in thirty-three seconds. A man can develop speed very fast with a heavy shoe or toe weight when neces- sary to steady a horse if he will use judgment and not go too far with him. Brush your horse just a little ways, say an eighth of a mile, yet it would be good judgment to go the full mile with an aged horse going the first seven-eights w r ell within himself, and brushing the last eighth out sharp. That learns your horse to go the mile steady, staying on a pace or trot, whichever the gait may be. It keeps him encouraged and in perfect safety from injury in carrying heavy weight, whereas if you attempt to drive him a fast mile you are in danger of breaking him down and laming him, also gets him tired and discouraged, and will make even a well-bred and game horse a quitter. Many a good race horse has been made a quitter by bad training. My motto has always been to send a man's horse home as good as he came if I could not improve him. We often hear the remark made that a cer- tain trainer is too industrious and is afraid he won't earn his salary unless he hones his horses every day. It would be better for his horses if he had a lazy strain in his pedigree, as a horse is better short of work than being over-trained. We notice some times a rainy day or two makes a good deal 132 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. of speed, which ought to give the energetic trainer a hint in the right direction. There is occasionally a pacer that requires considerable weight in the shoe behind, it seems to balance him better than if the weight was in front ; say for instance, if you have a twelve-ounce shoe in front, put full as much and perhaps two ounces more on the hind feet ; perhaps the front shoes are fourteen ounces, if so, use sixteen behind, and follow out this proportion either lighter or heavier as the gaiting of a pacer is an experiment as well as a trotter, if they don't go one way try them another. Patience, perseverance and a lit- tle good judgment will get your horse going straight and smooth if he has any natural speed, and when he is once gaited you can reduce this weight a little at a time, either in front or behind, and not interfere with his gait. In the summer of 1888 Elmonarch, 2:17^, came into my hands with a record of 2:20]-, made in June. He was having a severe attack of pink-eye when' 1 got him, which I think he hardly recovered from during the fall, but still he went some wonderful good races for me, and I think him one of the best race horses I ever had. He was not at any time in the pink essence of condition, still he showed his ability to pace a mile in 2:15, as he was only beaten by a head at Hartford in the 2:20 class by Roy Wilkes in 2:15. He paced a number of heats for me at Utica and Island Park, Albany, from 2:17^ to 2:18. At Utica, in the 2:17 class, there was in the race Bal- sora Wilkes, 2:171 Jennie Lind, 2:17, Charley Freel, 2:161 Johnny Woods, 2:231 Dr. M., 2:171 and Elmonarch. This was the first race I had started him after his sickness. I in- tended to give him an easy race, but he won the first heat so handily from Charley Freel in the stretch in 2:20"i, as none of the other horses were moved for the heat, that 1 thought I would move along and end it up in three heats. I won the second heat in 2:18^. Balsora Wilkes gave me a little race in the stretch. In the third heat Balsora Wilkes and Elmonarch had a great race all the way. I beat him home about a head EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 1 33 in 2:18^; that is, I thought so, and an instantaneous photo- graph, taken by Mr. Underhill of the New York Sportsman, confirmed my opinion, but the judges did not see it in that way and gave the heat to Balsora Wilkes. Mr. Underhill has since published the photograph in the Sportsman, showing the error of the judges. I am satisfied it was an error of judg- ment and not intentional, as we often see ahorse on the out- side in a close finish getting from one to two feet the best of the decision from the stand. As my horse had two stiff heats I laid him up the fourth heat, letting Balsora Wilkes win it as he pleased, and in the fifth heat the mare Jenny Lind tried very hard to put me over in the woods, where they have the clam-bakes, on the first turn, which let Balsora Wilkes get so far away from me that I was unable to catch him and he won the heat by about half a neck in 2:21. The next week at Island Park we had a hard battle, the same horses starting except Jenney Lind. Dr. M. won the first heat in 2:20^; Balsora Wilkes won the second in 2:17] ; Elmonarch won the third heat in 2:19^-, the fourth heat in 2:17} — pacing the last half in 1:05, the last quarter in thirty seconds — Balsora Wilkes driving me out. In the fifth heat Elmonarch made a break going away and I laid him up. Bal- sora Wilkes won in 2:21. In the sixth heat I got the worst of the send off, and when I moved for the heat at the three- quarter pole I was interfered with by Dr. M. so I did not get to Balsora Wilkes until well down into the stretch. If a man don't think that Balsora Wilkes and Samuel Grabenstatter are a hard pair to beat, I would like to have him go and try them for himself, for they beat me by just an eyelash in 2:21, suffi- 'cient at least to get first money and a little of my hard earned cash — more than I liked to give up. I gave the judges a strong argument about Dr. M. interfering with me, but they did not see it in that light, consequently I had to take my medicine — the bitter without the sweet. It was no fault of the horse my losing either of these races or at Hartford, as it seemed simply that I was in hard luck. He is one of the 134 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. sweetest going and pluckiest horses I ever saw, would try hard to win, and I think when in condition can beat most any man's horse in his class. I have never been fortunate or unfortunate enough to handle many pacers, but they are horse flesh the same as a trotter, and a man that can condition and drive a trotter well can do well with a pacer, though they are as a class bad break- ers ; it seems at that gait when they get out of their stride it is hard work for them to get onto it again. The boys say a stable is not complete without a pacer or two, but I can content myself with the trotters if I am per- mitted to pick them out. No man's work is perfect, and I expect criticism on this chapter I have simply given you my experience in shoeing bad-gaited horses, and the methods recommended are those which I have been successful with. CHAPTER IX. How to Prepare, Manage and Drive a Horse in a Race. We will suppose your horse has arrived at maturity. We all know some horses at four years old will require and can stand more work than others at six or seven. Horses, like people, are of different temperaments and ability and must be handled accordingly. A man should go carefully until he thoroughly understands the disposition and ability of his horse. See that he is properly shod and booted. These are the two most essential points in the training of your horse. It applies here as well as with the colt. If he hits himself he becomes sore and is afraid to go, and consequently becomes bad gaited and it will be necessary to let him up, whereas if he had been properly protected at the commencement you would have a number of seconds' better horse at the end of the season, as well as increasing the contents of your pocket- book. If it is in the spring of the year and you intend racing your horse through the season, you should have him strong, with a good coat of flesh on him, and keep him so as near as you can. This is a part where a man must exercise good judgment about the feeding of his horse. As you increase his work increase his feed proportionately. Horses differ. Some require more feed, hay and oats than others to keep them strong and in good flesh, which is necessary to stand a campaign. The amount required ranges from ten to fourteen quarts, with plenty of good timothy hay; perhaps in addition a little cracked corn, rye or wheat. Corn will sometimes loosen a horse's bowels too much ; if so, change to wheat or rye. Do not use your muzzle any more than is actually neces- sary, as I think there are five used where only one is needed. Rye straw is very hard to digest, and if he insists upon eating it you had better tie him up after he has finished eating his 136 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. hay rather than annoy him with a muzzle. If he is very hearty give him plenty of hay and he will eat less straw, and only put on the muzzle the night before a race or stiff work. We should always look to the comfort of our horses and a leather muzzle placed over his head on a hot day or night must be a torture, and the wire one is no good except to chafe, as he can eat through it. There are exceptions, as there is oc- casionally a gross feeder, or pig, as he might be called, and it would be necessary to keep on a muzzle, as he never knows when he gets enough, and you could not get him emptied out and ready in a week for fast work. In such cases, I think it better to bed with pine shavings, if convenient. Commence his work moderately, do not try to reduce his flesh too quick, for his races will take that off fast enough as the weather gets warm. You have probably been giving him seven or eight miles a day on the road as slow work. When your track gets good and you commence to give him a little fast work, shorten up on his jogs. Three to four miles a day is sufficient for the average horse when they are in training and trying to make speed. When you have a horse that it is necessary to give him eight or ten miles a day to level up his head and make him. stay on a trot, he will be short lived as a race horse, and the owner's finances will not show a very large increase. I have reference here to a horse that is gaited and has shown a fair amount of speed. I have seen many young horses that were double gaited and had acquired many bad habits, as hitching, hobling or taking too strong a hold of the iron when I started them up, and it would be necessary to give them long, stiff work to square them up in their gait or to overcome some bad habit they have acquired. This should be done in the winter or spring, so you will have time to let them up and rest out before it comes time to give them fast work on the track to try to improve their speed. -When you commence to work your horse on the track go easy witli him well within himself; do not allow him to rush off and break. If he is able to trot in 2:30 his first mile in the spring should EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 1 37 not be better than three minutes. Perhaps in twenty or thirty minutes it would be well to give him another mile in 2:55. To days later you might step him along another mile in 2:50, and in two days again give him a mile, and repeat the first mile in 2:50, second in 2:45. Two days later a mile in 2:42 or 2:43 ought not to do him any harm ; then, in three or four days, give him three heats in 2:50, 2:45 and 2:4^. Remember, that in driving your horse a mile to let him step right along by the stand fifteen or twenty rods. Do not let him stop as soon as he has passed the wire, as a horse will quickly learn where his stopping place is, and he might slacken too quick some day in a race when you were having a close finish. In this way, as your horse gets strength, wind cleared out and muscle worked up, increase his work accord- ingly, brushing him through the stretch at the finish of a mile nearly up to the limit of his speed. On Tuesday give him a mile, and repeat well within himself. On the Friday follow- ing give him four heats, first one in 2:45, second in 2:40, third in 2:35, and if he appears cheerful and fresh step him along the next one close to 2:30. Any competent trainer should be able to judge of his horse's ability to go a mile or a number of them without forcing him a full mile at the top of his speed, as there is many a horse discouraged and disheartened by such work. A quarter of a mile is far enough for any horse to be brushed at extreme speed. That ought to enable a man to judge of his horse's ability in a race, provided your horse is a good actor in company, if not work him with other horses. Try him at the pole on the outside and in the middle, that will satisfy you which place he works the best if he has anv choice, as most horses do. It would be well for you to score your horse a few times, trying him at short and long scores. All of this should be done well within himself. Keep him encouraged. If he should be a little wild or un- steady treat him kindly, pat him on the rump with your hand and speak gently to him, and so learn him he is not going to be harmed, and that it is all right. Have your groom out 138 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. out on the track, and as you walk back have him drop off his check and sponge his mouth out. That will many times quiet a horse down and cool him off, and he will turn around and go at it with new vigor. If you should be rash and hit him a sharp cut with the whip or jerk him with the reins, or speak in a loud voice, chicling him, you might frighten or make him angry, and he would not get over it in a month. The scrip- tural quotation, " Soft words turneth away wrath, and grievous ones stireth up anger," may be applied to horses as well as people. In all of this work your horse should be cared for between heats the same as in a race. Give him a few mouthfuls of grass or a little wet hay or other nourishment which will pacify him and he will cool out better. If you must give your horse a fast mile to the limit of his speed, it is not safe to do it within two weeks of his race, as you might pull him apart in some way so that it would take that time to recover. As your race draws near shorten and sharpen your work and the majority of them will go the route out better than they would with longer and stifferwork. Between your working days, in the morning, hitch your horse to a road cart or skelton wagon, leave his check easy or take it off entirely, and let your man jog him off on the road two or three miles, not over four at the outside. Towards evening let your boy give him a walk of twenty or thirty minutes on a grass plat, if convenient, and give him plenty of grass to eat if he wants it. In repeating your horse it should be done about two or three o'clock in the afternoon, the usual time of races, as it accustoms them to the temperature of that time of the day. If you have only one important event in view you should take more time to prepare your horse, as he will require stiffer work to prepare his muscles and reduce his flesh to be ready to go the limit of his speed without injury, whereas in prepar- ing for a campaign we would, the first race, expect to go easy, though they do not always get it ; the second race a little stronger, and about the third one, if he is healthy and has EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 1 39 stood his races well and is ever going to be any good, he should be at this time ready to show it to you if you are ready to see it. When the day of the race comes, and you'inean business, it is well to see that your horse's shoes are in their proper place and the right weight to suit him, your boots and harness in good repair, and if your horse is nervous and excitable a good plan is to take some very fine surgeon's cotton, which can be obtained at any drug store, make a ball the size necessary, and push it down carefully in the ear passage. Then make a larger one and put over the first one. Do it carefully, so as not to scratch or hurt the ear, or he will object to a repetition of it the next time. This will deaden the sound of the whip, voice or other noise made by contending drivers which may cause your horse to break. I have seen horses trot a good heat or race with their ears packed, when without, it would be almost impossible to keep them on a trot in a field of horses. Drivers usually find out all such peculiarities and take ad- vantage of it, and when you get near them the first thing you will hear will be a sharp crack of the whip or a sharp word, which would make your horse break and lose you a heat that you might have won, and would many times cause unpleas- ant words to be passed between drivers. See that your sulky is well oiled and made by Joseph F. Pray, of Boston, Mass. He makes a number of different styles and either of them are good enough for any man or horse. I prefer the bent back axle and I feel safer in one of them than in any sulky I ever used. They run lighter and easier than any make of sulky I know of, and I believe it is because the weight is in front of the axle. I am positive that any man that uses them once will not be without one. About forty minutes before the bell rings put the boots and harness on your horse and a short hood or jowl wrap ; go out and jog him two miles ; then step him along an easy mile within fifteen or twenty seconds of his limit ; brush a little through the stretch at his limit, say twenty or thirty rods, to 140 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. open, him out to see if he has his speed ; then take him in, re- move harness and boots, cooling out as though it was a heat in the race. Keep your eye on your watch, so that you may have your horse ready to go out on time when the bell rings, as that keeps the judges' association and spectators in good nature and good feeling towards you. One of the greatest drawbacks in trotting races is the delay in getting out, frequent scoring and Miss Nancy work, generally, it carries the race many times into darkness or over to the next day, and people go home growling and dissatisfied, and say I will never go to a trotting race again. I have often thought if there could be some rule adopted so three-fourths of this preliminary delay could be abolished, it would popularize trotting races more than any one thing that could be done, and there would be ten spectators where there is only one now. When you are called lead your horse out to the track, get in your sulky, drive to the judge's stand, and have them assign your position, then score your horse up once or twice. Then go up with the other horses and turn in your place, and get the word the first time if possible and drive the heat to the best of your ability and the good of your horse. There is an old saying, that plenty of speed and a good actor makes a good driver, but that don't always win a race, though he may have a good horse. In order to be a good driver in a race, it is necessary to be ready at all times to take advantage of some unforseen circumstance that may arise at any time, and be ready to turn it to one's benefit on the instant it occurs. It is neces- sary for a man to be level-headed and a good judge of human nature as well as of horses. Drivers do not as a general thing proclaim to the whole field or to the public what their intentions are, but actions sometimes speak louder than words, and a man must be able to judge by them what the tactics of his competitors are, and be ready at all times to take advantage of their acts at a second's notice, as I have had many times in a race, a driver move along up to me when EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 141 I was on the lead, and seeing me commence to drive my horse a little would say, " Go easy, Jack, I don't want to win a heat, and I would not if I could, let's make a close finish," when at the same time they were just dying to win a heat, and if I attempted to make a close finish they would make a rush the last few strides and beat me the heat if they could. In that way I have seen many a heat lost, which would not have occurred if a man had kept driving his horse and not pay any attention to other people's talk, simply attend to his own business and let other people do the same, for men in this business are more fickle-minded than in any other vocation in the world. I have seen many drivers declare at the beginning of a race that they did not want a heat, and would not win if they could, and when we would get the word it would seem they were willing to drive the legs off their horse to win in three straight heats if possible. With many drivers it requires a pretty good judge to decide whether they are trying to win or lose, and I have often thought they hardly knew themselves what they wanted to do. The proper way is to make up your mind before you commence what you are going to try to do, and stick to it, and I think the man who is always willing to try and win when he can has the most money at the end of the season. Do not pay any attention to that old chestnut of a fast trial of some horse, but if you have a fairly good horse yourself, and the betting suits you, put a little money on your own horse and go out and drive him or her from start to finish, as in your judgment he should be driven to trot a good race out. Be careful to not take too much out of him in any one heat, as it takes usually three heats to win a race. For instance, you get a bad send off or you are interfered with or your horse makes a bad break and falls back say a dozen lengths on the first turn, you might win the heat by driving for it, when by doing so you would take so much out of your horse you would not be able to win another heat that day. In such cases you should always say to yourself, " If I 142 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. could win this heat, how easy I could win the next one with a good send off, so I will lay this heat up and just drop inside of the flag." By doing so you give your horse an easy heat and prepare him to trot three good heats later on. A man should know whether his horse goes the easiest in the lead or trailing, as many horses when ahead take a strong hold of the bit and it shuts him up in the britchin, which interferes with his stifle action or shuts off his wind, perhaps both. A half mile in this way would take more out of him than two heats ought to if he had dropped back and trailed some one or two horses until he got into the stretch and then made the drive. You will find something left for a finish that in the other case you would have taken out of your horse at the half-mile pole. It is always well to pick out your own road and see that you have clear sailing and not wait for someone to pull out of your way. Then again, in case of a horse of a slack temperament, it is better for you and them to be on the lead if you can get it, as they require some hurrah and excitement to keep them going and will trot a good heat or race for you in that posi- tion ; when, if you get away trailing they seem to be discour- aged and faint hearted, and when you call on them for a brush at the finish they seem to say, " I can't, I can't," and they won't try, and when you go at them with the whip or other- wise they will make a lobster of a break and it is all up with them for that heat, and perhaps the race. With some horses it is necessary to commence to drive when they say " Go," and keep at them all the way in order to get a good heat out of them, when if you let them go away easy within them- selves they would go the whole heat that way, and they would not seem to rally or could not any rod of the route. I have seen horses lose heats and races in 2:30 when they were actually able to trot. in 2:24 or 2:25 by being driven in this way, that is to say, with an easy disposition man like them- selves, when at the same time another man could take them that the boys call an industrious hustler, and he would get EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 143 four or five seconds more speed out of them, and the horse would seem to do it as easy, and in fact, more so than he did the heat before in 2:30. We all know no one man is calcu- lated to drive all kinds of horses. We all have our choice of a certain dispositioned horse to drive. I have often seen what would be called a common driver that will get more speed out of a. certain horse than an expert, though his man- agement through the race might not be as good as it is not always speed that wins. I have seen many a race won with good management and generalship. I think Dan Mace was possessed of more of these quali- ties than any man I ever saw behind a trotter. He was quick of apprehension artd could adapt himself to the surroundings and be ready to take advantage of every little point that would be to his advantage. I have often heard him say to other drivers in a race to whom he was friendly, don't go here ©r don't go there, in large fields of horses where he thought the changing of their positions would be detrimental to them. He always seemed to have his thoughts about him and could take a correct survey of the field at a glance and seemed to be willing to impart his knowledge to his friends. Another necessary point is when you are having a close finish and your horse is a little tired and it becomes necessary to use your whip, to keep a good hold of him, as that keeps him encouraged. When you hit him with the whip pick his head up at the same time and he will keep going, whereas if you should let go of his head the horse will seemingly say, " My driver has given it up and I will, too," and you will lose a heat that you might have won if you had kept driving. It is not safe to let go of the head until within one stride of the wire, then by dropping the reins on his back he will straighten out his neck and win the heat, which could not be won in any other way. I think I have seen John Splan drive as desperate a finish as any man that ever sat behind a horse. Another point to watch closely is the cooling out be- 144 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. tween heats. I never yet had a groom so good that I thought it would do any harm to watch him while cooling out his horse, and I believe I have had as good men as were ever in the business. I always thought I could form a better opinion how my horse was going to trot the next heat if I could see him cooled out, as many times the men working about the horse are thoroughly heated up themselves and are not com- petent to judge of the weather — the day might be cool, but they would think it warm — and when starting to walk the horse would not put covers enough on him, and again they might put on too much, which would be just as injurious to the horse, and as I said before, it is no harm to look after them, and I always feel this a duty and think it just as neces- sary as to drive the heat. I might not have occasion to dic- tate in cooling out a dozen horses, and again I might with one word of advice win the race, as often times two heads are bet- ter than one, as no one is perfect ; we are liable to err or forget some important point. I have had horses in warm weather that would in cooling out dry all up if a heavy wrapper was thrown over them, and would puff and blow and seem to be distressed, when if the heavy wrapper was replaced with a lio-ht lindsy and walk them about they would break out and sweat nicely and stop blowing, and when the bell rang would be ready to go out and go another good heat for me. I think many cases of horses being distressed and dried up are caused by the men putting too much clothing on them. I think, as a rule, we are apt to use too much, and it is a detriment to them. Again a horse would seem to be all burned up inside and vet would not sweat a drop and would seem to be choked for the want of water. I think, as a rule, there are more horses injured for the want of water than there are in giving it to them in the proper way. A man must use judgment. I have many times given a horse a bucket half full, sometimes a full one, then throw the blankets on him and walk him smartly, say for five minutes, and the sweat would pour out of him EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 1 45 from his head to his tail, then strip and scrape him and rub the water out nicely and he would act like another horse. With other horses they wanted the water outside instead of inside. After trotting a hard heat or two on a hot day they would seem to be terribly distressed and would not drink any water. In such cases I would take a large sponge, dip it into a pail of cold water, place it between their ears, passing quickly down the spine to the roots of the tail, squeez- ing the water out as you go. I would do this about three times, which would seem to produce a shock like electricity and would start a reaction ; then scrape the water out of them, put on rum or the body wash, throw on the blanket and walk them a few minutes, and the water would pour out of them like rain, and they would be relieved at once, and as soon as I could get them scraped out and rubbed out lightly they would seem to be ready for the bell to ring again. Too much rub- bing on the body does more harm than good, as it irritates the horse, gets him sore and fretful, and he will not get the rest that is necessary. See also that your grooms are light- handed, and do not put too much weight on the rub cloth or scraper. See that the legs are well cleansed of dust and dirt by a damp sponge and rub cloth from the body to the feet, then apply your wash, and see that they are thoroughly rubbed out. The muscles above the knee and hock should be as well cared for as below. Put on your bandages either of flannel, linen or derby. I think well of a linen bandage rung out of cold water, as they are on but a few minutes, and are used simply as a support to the tendons while walking, and they are much cooler. If the day is hot and dry see that the soles of the feet are bathed thoroughly in cold water after each heat. I have seen horses throw a shoe after going a half or three quarters of a mile, and, on picking it up, found it so hot I could not hold it in my hand. This taught me it was as necessary to bathe the feet as it is the head and mouth. The best nourishment I know of for a horse between heats, in case one is needed, say after a horse has went two or 146 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. three hard heats and has become tired, is to take a quart or two of clean oats, dampen them and put them into a sieve and spread them out, so the horse cannot get a large mouth- ful at once. While the man is walking him to cool out let him carry them in his hand and occasionally let the horse take a mouthful. If you attempt to let him eat them while the men are rubbing him he will fret and be uneasy and will not chew them well and will waste more than he will eat. This should be repeated after each heat, if the race lengthens out to five or six heats. I have used oatmeal gruel and it is good for those horses that will eat it, but my experience is that very few horses like it and any horse will eat oats. We all know that when a man is tired a few mouthfuls in the stomach will build him up wonderfully, and it is the same with a horse. For a stimulant to give a horse I formerly used cherry wine, whisky, brandy, etc., but all of these I discarded years ago, the after effect is so bad. It has the same effect on a horse it does on a man — first stimulating then depressing. When any stimulation is necessaryT use a homoeopathic pre- paration — a few drops on the tongue — and the effect is not only immediate but permanent, and is beneficial and no bad effect afterwards. This has helped me to win many a long and hard race. In a long race you must watch your horse and see if he shows any indications of wanting to stall. If so, and your stable is not handy, have a bundle of straw with you and shake it out under him, which will usually have the desired effect, and would win you the race, which he might have lost without this relief. After a horse has trotted a race, and you are cooling him out, and it is getting late, the dew beginning to fall, or you are near a body of water, a lake, river or the seashore, you get a different atmosphere than you would if away from the water; there is more dampness in the air. Keep your horse well clothed and out of the wind and night air. See that his EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 147 head and ears are thoroughly dried out and warm and his legs are well cared for. It is better to not try to do much with the body that is strip and rub it, or you may produce what is called an air founder or rheumatism, which will take a long time for them to recover from, if they ever do. I remem- ber once at Island Park, Peter Pollard, of Baltimore, and myself walked around where they were cooling out the horses after a hard race. We picked out three horses that were cooling out that we thought would not be fit to trot again in some time, and we were right, as neither one of the three the next morn- ing were able to get out of the stable, for they were as stiff as a poker. One of them has recovered and appeared on the track, but is not herself, and I don't believe she ever will be. The other two have never been heard of since. This many times is also caused by a horse being left standing in one position in a draft or dampness. They should be walked until thor- oughly cooled out, and should not be allowed to stand in one position over five minutes, unless in a warm stable. A man should have sufficient tools to remove and replace a horse's shoes. I think it very necessary, after a hard race, to remove the horse's shoes the same night, so as to rest the feet, and it is well to put the front feet in poultices. Take two quarts of wheat bran, put hot water on it and scald it thoroughly, divide it and put in the centre of two rub cloths ; take three or four raw onions for each foot, pound them soft, spread over the bran, and set the horse's foot in the centre, bring the rub cloth up and tie around the ankle, and leave on during the night, take them off in the morning and wash the feet clean, and you will find the feet in nice condition, free from fever or soreness. For their supper the old rule used to be a hot bran mash the night after a race. That may be good for some horses, but I would prefer a bundle of nice fresh grass, or three or four quarts of scalded oats prepared at noon, so they may be cool when needed, or in fact any other nourishment which they would eat the best. The next morning after a race see that your man gives 14$ EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. your horse a walk in the dew, or if there is a paddock handy, turn him out for an hour in it and let him roll or do what he likes, then take him in and brush him out lightly, in fact, don't do much of anything with him, let him alone to rest out. Towards night it would be well to walk him out again a little while, and let him have a few bites of grass. Some horses will rest out in one day, and others it takes more. I never put a harness on my horse the next day after a race, and sometimes not for three or four days. It all depends on how he acts and how he feels. CHAPTER X. Visit to California. I will say a word here of what I saw in California which may be of interest to my readers as it was connected with horse interests, and for the purpose of witnessing the devel- opment of colts as practiced at Palo Alto, in order to see the effect on young colts as a whole where early development is the cardinal principle. I also desired to invest some what in California breed- stock. I arrived in San Francisco on February 4th, 1889. I stopped at the Palace Hotel, which is the rendezvous for horsemen, and in fact most every one seems to take a stroll that way during the evening. I had a good visit with O. A. Hickok that evening, and after a good night's rest I started for Palo Alto early the next morning. Palo Alto is the larg- est horse breeding establishment in the world. When I ar- rived at the Menlo Park Station I was met by one of Mr. Marvin's assistants who drove me out to the ranch, which is about two miles from the station. Of course I had heard and read a good deal about Palo Alto, and as I drove into the yard I saw a familiar face and grasped the hand of a friend. I refer to Charles Marvin, the reigning spirit at that world- famous ranch. He has been there about thirteen years and has grown up with the ranch, and the stock has grown up with him under his watchful eye and guiding hand. Mr. Marvin shows the marks of time, his careworn features and stooping form is the mark of his industry, which all the world knows by the results he has attained with Palo Alto's now famous sons and daughters. Electioneer and Charles Marvin's fame will go down the ages coupled together, as one without the other would not have been what they are in the horse history of America. Mr. Marvin looked to me as though he required 150 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. a let up, as we say about a campaigner that has been over- worked, but he still has that easy, courteous manner which makes the perfect host willing to do everything possible to entertain his guests, showing everything on the place and thinking of everything which could possibly entertain and please his visitors. In company with Mr. McLecd, of " Wal- lace's Monthly," who was there in the interest of horse mat- ters, we took a look at the stock. I cannot begin to tell all I saw, but will give only a short sketch. I was anxious to see the great Electioneer, and we wended our way first to his stall. I found him a wonderful horse. He is brown in color and as finely balanced as any horse I ever looked over ; very speedy conformation ; consid- erably higher on the hips than on the shoulder, and my ex- perience has taught me that real trotters are built that way. He does not show his age (21 years) except a little droop in the back, and apparently is as sound and nimble as a five-year-old. He has not had on a shoe in a number of years. His feet and legs are as good as I ever saw on a horse. He is jogged every morning five or six miles, which he seems to enjoy, as I met him coming from his exercise one morning and he acted like a colt. They have about eighty colts and horses in training, from yearlings up to aged horses. There are ten assistant trainers. I will not attempt to mention their names, but I know most of them and they are all good men. All the stock looked bright and were in high flesh, and still they were hav- ing plenty of work. A good many of them were worked every day on the track, what I would call pretty stiff, that is, from two years old up. The yearlings were worked mostly on the miniature track, which is under cover. It is an oblong track of regulation shape about two hundred feet in length. The track was very soft and well thrown up on the outside like a circus ring. It is boarded up tight on the outside and the roof reaches just over the track. There is a railing on the in- side extending around the circle. The track is from seven to eight feet wide. The centre is left open to give plenty of air EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. I 5 I and light. A colt is turned loose in the ring, being perfectly protected with boots, wearing quarter, shin and toe boots. They are all shod light behind, which is necessary to keep a toe boot on, but are not shod in front. A man stands at each end of the oblong with a whip in his hand. The colt is allowed to caper about for a few times around the ring, as many of them are playful. Then he will strike a trot, and it is per- fectly wonderful how those young things can fly around that ring. They are allowed to go three or four times one way and are then turned and sent the other way about the same number of times. In that way they are worked fifteen or twenty minutes. Occasionally they would stop and take a puff or two and then on they would go. I really believe I saw a yearling colt step close to a two-thirty gait for a little ways as handily and perfectly gaited as an old trotter in har- ness. After this work they are taken off and rubbed a little, walked and cooled out, then a light blanket thrown over them and their legs bandaged like an old horse, their feet picked out and, in fact, taken as good care of as an old trotter. Nothing is left undone for their comfort or benefit. These youngsters are all broken to harness and occasionally, from two to three times a week, are harnessed up and hitched first to a skeleton wagon and driven on the track, just brushed a little ways up and down the stretch, say from thirty to forty rods, and then turned and brushed back sharp. This is re- peated three or four times, then they are taken in and cared for as before mentioned. I saw a filly by Electioneer, dam by General Benton, not yet eleven months' old, hitched to a skeleton wagon and driven by Marvin, who is considerably over weight, step a 2:40 gait sure, and as good gaited and behaved as any aged horse. I think this was the greatest sight I ever saw in my life as a horseman. In this way I was entertained for two days with the youngsters. I saw a good many two and three year olds that could step a 2:20 gait and better in harness. I saw a gray mare, three years old, out of Electioneer, dam 152 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. Sontag Mohawk by Mohawk Chief, clam of Sallie Benton, 2:17f, by General Benton and Eros, 2:29£, by Electioneer, that I thought could fly, but when Marvin appeared on the track behind Sunol, two-year-old, record 2:18, she put all of them young ones in the shade. I just think 1 saw her step a 2:10 gait, and want to say right here, if she lives two years and has no bad luck, she will wipe out any mark ever put on the blackboard ; it was not only the speed she shows, but the manner in which she does it, there is no hitching or scrabbling, but she goes just as natural and easy as a chicken picking up corn. Mr. Marvin told me she had never made but one break in her life, and that was in the first heat of her first race. As Marvin stepped out of the sulky behind her I took him by the hand and said, " Charley, this has paid me for the whole trip, for I never expected to see anything like this during my life.'' I said to Mr. Marvin, "What would a thing like that cost?" He replied, *' Only $50,000.'' 1 looked at my purse and made up my mind that I could hardly afford to own her as much as I would like to, not being a Robert Bonner. Next he came out with Fred Crocker 2:2;H, eleven years old. He was the first two-year-old to beat 2:30, and his 2:25^ was made at that age. He has been a little off, and has had no work since his two-year-old form. He looked big and strong, is high in flesh, and has had but little work, but I think could show better than a 2:20 gait. Marvin is very con- fident he will give him a record better than 2:20 this year if he will stand work. When noon came Mr. Marvin invited me to his house, which is situated near the entrance to Palo Alto. It is a handsome cottage, and its occupants, Mr. and Mrs. Marvin, with their three children, are a family that one seldom meets. Mrs. Marvin would compare favorably with the first lady in the land, who has been so highly lauded and esteemed, and justly, as every one concedes. Their children do honor to their parents, and cannot be too highly spoken of. As I am very fond of children, I assure you I enjoyed that dinner and the hospitalities of my host and hostess. EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 1 53 Alter dinner Mr. Marvin hitched up a team and drove me down to the stables of the thoroughbreds, and after look- ing them over we took a look at the new Stanford University, which is situated at Palo Alto. From there we drove over to the residence of Senator Stanford, which is a lovely place, very large grounds, beautiful shrubbery, and everything that delights the eye and pleases the mind. There is no use for me to attempt to describe the many things I saw. The only way to appreciate Palo Alto is to go and see it. The next day I was invited down to San Mateo to visit William Corbet's place, the home of Guy Wilkes, 2:15j-, and his son, Sable Wilkes, the fastest three-year-old, 2:18. This is one of the handsomest places I ever saw in my life. It is a farm of about 500 acres, bounded on one side by the Pacific coast. It lies very level and is laid out like a landscape gar- den, well arranged pastures, paddocks, stables, etc., in fact, everything was in perfect order and kept so by its efficient superintendent, the great reinsman, John A. Goldsmith. John went to California when a boy and has grown up with the country. He is to-day one of the brightest stars of California's many great horsemen, and best of all is self-sustaining. They have a three-quarter mile track, where their colts are trained. Guy Wilkes, of course, is the premier stallion and 1 think he is as good a son as George Wilkes sired, if not the best. He is a finely formed bay horse with plenty of substance and plenty of speed, as he has demonstrated, and as game as a horse could be, and is the sire of trotters as well. Sable Wilkes, his son, is a very fine horse and the greatest three- year-old yet produced, trotting to a record of 2:18. I saw a handsome three-year-old filly by Guy Wilkes step a quarter in thirty-four seconds with ease, and several others that could show from 2:30 to a 2:20 gait, ranging in age from two to four. I tried to buy one, but my purse was not long enough. I was invited in by Mr. Corbett to a bounteous dinner. He is a very fine, courteous gentleman. He enjoys showing visitors his stock, which he is very proud of, and well he may be. I 154 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. bought the bay mare Rosa Mac, 2:20^, six years old, by Alex- ander Button, sire of Yolo Maid, three-year-old record 2:14, pacer. The next day I visited Bay District track and found O. A. Hickok working some colts, among which was a very fine bay mare, out of Alandorf by Onward, dam Alma Mater, and I think, take her all in all, she was as fine a mare as I ever saw, size, color, conformation and gait. I understood she was just fairly broken and I really think she could show a two-thirty gait. Hickok was very sweet on her and said he would be very glad to give $5,000 for her. He was working another the same age, a seal brown stallion by Steinway, that was also very promising. As he came up the stretch at the finish of a mile Hickok took hold of him and spoke sharp. He squared away and acted like a trotter. I verily believe he went a few strides close to a 2:20 gait, I began to make up my mind they had great colts in all parts of California. At the same time I saw an old gentleman working a bay four-year-old colt, by Guy Wilkes, which they all told me could trot in 2:30 or better, and from what I saw I had no reason to doubt it. There next appeared on the track Dan McCarthy, a very in- dustrious man in the horse business, as he has all kinds and colors. Dan is always ready to buy a horse of any kind at his price. He was driving a nice brown gelding by Election- eer, that I should judge could trot in 2:30 or better when in condition. I liked him and tried to buy him, but Dan and I could not quite agree on the price, so we stepped in his wagon and took a drive around by the Cliff House, and it is a grand sight to a new comer to see the seals playing in the water and lying on the rocks. There were probably one hundred of them in sight, barking and chewing at one another like pup- pies. From there we took a drive down through the park and back to the city. When we arrived at the Palace Hotel I met James Durs- ton, who lives just across the bay at Oakland. Jimmey was looking very fine and tells me he likes California very much; EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 1 55 says he has made some money there the last year and had got it yet. That is more than the boys can all say. Jimmey is an industrious man and always looks out for himself. He told me he had just sold to James Golden of Boston a very nice entire colt, sired by Dexter Prince, and had made a little money on him, which I was very glad to hear. I had a very pleasant evening's visit with Jimmey, and the next morning started for Sacramento to see the brown gelding Adair, record 2:17|, by Electioneer. I found him at Wilber Smith's stable- After looking him over and taking a short ride behind him I bought him and started for home, which is a long, tedious ride, and when I arrived home I said California is a nice coun- try and the woods are full of trotters, but old Salt Point is good enough for me. Charles Marvin's Chapter. TRAINING TROTTING COLTS After some hesitancy, I have decided to comply with the request of Mr. Feek, the author of this work, and contribute a short chapter on training colts to trot, illustrated with a brief resume of the preparation that enabled the famous Sunol to twice eclipse the two-year-old record of the world. My hesitancy, at first, in deciding to comply with Mr. Feek's invitation was due to several objections that suggested them- selves to my mind. First, as is pretty generally known, I am myself about to embark on the uncertain sea of authorship, and will shortly submit to the consideration and judgment of American horsemen an exhaustive work on " TRAINING THE Trotting Horse," in which the Palo Alto system of devel- oping colt trotters will be carefully and fully treated in every detail. Being so engaged, the thought naturally suggested itself that perhaps I owed it to myself to give my sole atten- tion to my own literary venture. Secondly, I realized, es- pecially after some months of work on the forthcoming book, how impossible it is to write satisfactority of a whole system of training in a single chapter. To give you an adequate idea of a method of training, such as that practiced at Palo Alto, is only possible in a good-sized volume — and, of course, had I been able to treat it in a chapter or two I would never have thought of writing a book. Still another objection was that this chapter has to be written at very short notice — but against all these objections my desire to accommodate the genial and gentlemanly Syracuse trainer has prevailed. Some who may never see it fully explained in my book, may have EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 15/ this volume in their hands, and thus get an inkling of the Palo Alto system. And I trust that both this work and my own, when complete, will be sufficiently instructive to deserve well of all breeders, trainers, and horse lovers in general. At the outset, then, I desire the reader to understand that in writing this chapter no thought of a complete elucida- tion of the Palo Alto system is entertained. I can only endeavor to give a general idea . of that system, touching briefly on the salient outlines, and leaving the treatment of details to the volume of which this chapter is but a faint and distant echo. Every trainer has his own ideas, his own peculiar methods, and his private reasons for them. The methods practised at Palo Alto are, I am aware, somewhat unusual, and in some of their features perhaps radical. The probabilities are that if these methods were to be passed upon by a jury composed of all the trainers in the country, they would be condemned by a large majority. Indeed, had these methods been outlined and submitted to such a jury ten years ago, the popular voice would have loudly proclaimed not only that such training never did make a trotter, but that it never could make one. Yet by these same methods have been developed the fastest yearling, the fastest two-year-old, and the fastest four-year- old trotters the world has seen. Under them a yearling has been taught to trot in 2:31^, a two-year-old in 2:18, a three- year-old in 2:19£, and a four-year-old in 2:16, not to mention dozens of other trotters of high merit. Only one three-year- old in the world has trotted a mile as fast as Palo Alto's champion two-year-old ; and every man knows that scores of aged Jiorscs haye been trained for seasons before they could gain a mark equal to that of the dead yearling Norlainc ! Do not these facts seem to show that there is merit in this sys- tem. If there is no merit in the system, surely then the Palo Alto horses must be the most wonderful born trotters in the world ! I neither ask or counsel any trainer or any breeder to 158 EVERY MAN. HIS OWN TRAINER. discard his methods and adopt mine ; but I do say that what it has accomplished justifies me in giving it to the world as an improved system of training young horses to trot, and that its study can certainly not fail to prove beneficial to every trainer, breeder and horse owner that is not too wise to learn. In my judgment there is no man so thorough a master of his profession that he cannot learn from the successful experiences of others. A great deal has been written for and against colt trot- ting, and I have observed that the controversies have been conducted much on the same lines as the discussion on breed- ing from performing sires and dams. As a rule those who have opposed breeding from developed stallions, are those whose favorite horse failed to win honor on the turf ; and as a rule the breeders and trainers who have failed to produce colt trotters, are sure that early training is " dead wrong." For my own part I know that it is possible to train a colt for speed from his yearling form to maturity with none but bene- ficial effects. Four colts out of five that have suffered from early training, have suffered because they were improperly and injudiciously handled. There are a good many men who can successfully handle a mature horse, and there are still more who can drive a horse well after some one else has made a trotter of him ; but the men capable of intelligently and properly educating colt trotters are, as scarce as 2:15 horses. We are all too anxious, and many a colt has been a victim to the driver's impatience to accomplish in a week what should not to be attempted in two months. To listen to the general clamor against colt training, one would imagine that aged horses never were known to break down. All horses gifted with natural speed have not the quality to train on ; and such a horse will " go wrong " before he reaches the limit of his speed capacity, no matter when he is trained. And if he goes wrong as a two-year-old he will be a good deal cheaper failure than if he breaks down as a ten-year-old. If a horse has not the capacity and quality to make a good performer EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 1 59 the quicker the owner and trainer find it out the better. His room is better than his company. I am not only strong in the belief that the colt can be trained for speed from his infancy without injury, but that such training if successfully and judiciously given is a great and lasting benefit. It will make him a better aged horse. Let two colts, in all other things equal, be raised together, the one trained from his yearling form, and the other not worked until he is five years old, and the chances are not one in ten that the latter will ever see the day that he is the equal of his trained brother, either in speed or in any of the qualities that go to make a race horse. He will not only be uneducated, of untrained instinct, and wilful ; but he will be deficient in physi- cal development as compared with the trained one. Can the sluggard run, jump, wrestle with the athlete whose muscles have the substance, hardiness and tone of long and constant training? But you will ask me, " Do you not think that a great and excessive effort by a young colt will prove permanently detri- mental?" And my answer would be, as a rule, yes. But you can train a colt, and if exceedingly promising, you can give him a fast record, without necessarily requiring of him a strain- ing and exhausting effort. If there is one thing more than another, with reference to training colt trotters, which I would enforce and grind into the reader's mind it is this: Never require of the colt more than fie can do within himself. Never, either in his work or his performance, carry him to the last inch of effort, the point of exhaustion, for at that point not only does all development cease, but you have probably un- done many weeks of work, and have not unlikely inflicted a permanent injury. Very little thought then is necessary to comprehend what a delicate matter the training of a young trotter is. If you do not carry it far enough your work will be barren of imme- diate results, while if you carry it too far you will spoil all that is already done and ruin the material that might have l6o EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. made a star performer. It calls for the most careful judg- ment, constant watchfulness, and keen discrimination in know- ing how far to go. Presuming that the reader has decided to find out whether he has the making of a trotter without waiting seven or eight years on what may prove a forlorn and expensive hope, he will naturally be endeavoring to settle upon a system of train- ing. He is, we will presume, a sensible reader, who does not need to be told that the same medicine will not suit every patient, that the same diet and training is not best for all chil- dren, or that no cast-iron set of rules can be formulated under which every colt can be best handled. Ten volumes, cover- ing every possible phase of training, will not relieve the trainer from the necessity of using brains in his \vork, but on the other hand no trainer of good judgment can fail to increase his skill by study of the experiences of others. The colt's education should begin at weaning time, or at about five months old. He is first made halter-wise and learned to lead. The colts should be led to and from the paddocks every day until thoroughly gentle and obedient to the halter. After our youngster is thoroughly halter-wise, he is ready for his first lesson as a trotter. Now we introduce him to the Kindergarten. This is a minature track of about the regulation shape, which should be about one-twelfth of a mile in length, and ten feet wide, with long stretches and well thrown up turns. The track should be of a soil good for the feet, and should always be kept deep and quite soft. The inner rail should not be perpendicular, but should rather sharply incline outward at the top, so that the colt can hug it closely all around and yet not strike his knees or feet on the posts, of which there should be no more than necessary. On this track, after carefully booting the youngster, we give him his first work. In my book I treat this part of the education with that detail and completeness which its great importance demands, but of EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. l6l course space here will not admit of giving minute instructions. Suffice it to say that the colt soon learns to trot around this ring, free and untrammelled, with the steadiness of a track- horse, and he shortly becomes quite obedient to the voices and whips of the men in the center. He learns to regard the men as teachers and the whips not as instruments of torture. It requires a good deal of skill, practice, and judgment to use the minature track successfully. You must learn how far to go and how far not to go, which is largely a matter of judg- ment differing with different colts, and which only experience can teach. The benefits of the work on the colt-track are manifold. Briefly, it learns the colt to trot, and that he is wanted to trot ; to stick to the trot, and to do it in his free and natural way ; it develops wind and muscle and is healthy exercise ; and last, but not least, it enables the trainer to see what the colt's action is, how he is balanced, how he carries himself, and what checking, if any, will be necessary later on. More than this, it enables the trainer to pick out the promis- ing ones. If he is training at a large establishment he will soon see the importance of this. Where there are so many colts that to train all is practically impossible it is a matter of no small importance to be able to tell at the outset what colts are the most likely to repay you for the time *and trouble ex- pended upon them. We hear a great many stale remarks in these days about the worthlessness of " lot trotters. 1 ' The philosophers of the barn-yard who indulge in this talk, would have one believe that the colt that is a natural born trotter is less likely to be a success than the one whose speed is ham- mered into him through his back. This is on a par with a great deal more of the stock-in-trade of the more ignorant class of horse-handlers, who have never deserved the name of trainers. From Fred Crocker down to Sunol every one of the Palo Alto stars, was a star among the youngsters in the lot and on the colt-track. The colt should have his daily lessons in the track until he is from twelve to fourteen months old, when he should be 1 62 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. broken to harness. The first course of instruction is in the bitting harness, which I need not here describe. After he is thoroughly used to harness and obedient to bit and rein — which will take several days of patient and careful work — he is introduced into the shafts of a skeleton wagon. My sys- tem, however, is to teach him to go in harness by hitching him double with a gentle, reliable horse, first on one side and then on the other. After this he will likely go off at the first asking in single harness. Drive your colt first to the skeleton wagon. Now shoe him behind with a light, plain shoe, and as soon as you get him going straight and clever, hitch him to a sulkey and his regular track work begins. Before you work him see that he is thoroughly protected with well-fitting boots. In looking over your outfit for boots, if you find such apparatus as a break cart, a supply of toe- weights and a fit-out for " leading colts with a runner," put the toe-weights on the runner, hitch the runner to the cart, and ship the outfit to some of the many trainers who will have use for these tools. Colts, as a rule, and especially yearlings, need no jogging. They should always be fed fully and well, and must be kept stout. Up till two years old the colt will not eat more than his growth calls for. He is young and nervous, and by the time you get on the track you will find him ready to step off at a good pace. Start him up at a good gait for 100 to 150 yards, then turn slowly and brush him back. Repeat this several times, but not enough to tire the colt, carrying him up to his clip at some part of each brush, and giving him a breathing spell at every turn. After this take him in, re- move his boots and care for him properly, seeing that he is not exposed to drafts. After he is cooled out leave him to himself, as if undisturbed he will probably lie down and rest. Remember that colts need little blanketing, no sweat-hoods and no scraping. They do not need to be reduced, but to be kept stout. Continue this work right along, giving him a run out and EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 163 a let-up occasionally to freshen him, and be sure to stop if you see that the colt is not at himself and is not improving. When he is about two years old you will shoe him. If he is a pure, good-gaited colt he will need from 8 to 10 ounce shoes in front and from 4 to 5 behind. Of course as he gets age and strength his work will increase, but the brush should never be greatly lengthened. For an aged horse, the brush work should not exceed a quarter of a mile, and you will seldom need to keep the horse " on his toes " for that dis- tance. Always leave a link to call for. Keep the colt or horse fresh and eager, so that he will take the work willingly, not as a task, and go on his nerve and courage, not have to be forced along. When your horse gets stale and track sick you have overdone it, and may as well make up your mind that you have taken a long slide down hill, and will have to go back and make up the lost ground as slowly as before. Remember that the short brush makes SPEED, and speed is the first essential. After you have your three-year-old going quarters in 35 seconds — if that is fast enough to suit you — you can condition him for mile and repeat performances. You may have him keyed up as hard as nails, but if your competitor can go a quarter in 35 seconds, and you can go in 37, he will beat you all the way, and do it easily while you are struggling and straining. He will be fresh after your colt is dead tired, and no matter how. game your colt is, the other one will have him a beaten horse before you know it, simply because he can do with ease what you cannot do with your utmost effort. When you have developed whatever measure of speed you believe sufficient to win your race, you can fit the colt for the race a:; Sunol was fitted, but remember you must first have the speed. Gameness and condition and all that won't prevail against a competitor who can throw dust in your eyes without half trying. This brings us to Sunol — and the'n we are done. Sunol is a finely shaped bay mare, of the most racy form, sixteen hands high at the rump and fifteen-two at the wither. She is 164 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. finely finished all over, with the best of legs and feet, and has remarkable length from the hip to the hock. Her height over the quarter, and her short steep rump, give her a remarkably greyhoundish appearance. She is by Electioneer, and out of Waxana, by General Benton. Waxana's dam was Waxy, the most satisfactory version of whose pedigree shows her to have been a full sister to Annette (the dam of Ansel, 2:20,) by Lex. ington, out of a Grey Eagle mare. Sunol was foaled April 14, 1886. Her work was substantially on the plan outlined above. I began to break her to harness at about a year old, and found her the most high-strung, nervous, and difficult colt that I ever handled. She was mean when first hitched, and it was only with the expenditure of the greatest patience that she was ever got to be at all tractable. After I got her to going in harness I worked her in the manner described above, never driving more than half a mile at any gait, and always making short brushes. She was wonderfully speedy from the outset, and early in the spring I saw that, if all went well, I had in the Waxana filly a star of the first magnitude. She was entered to trot at Los Angeles on the 5th of August, 1888, I shipped my stable there about July 20th, and up till this time Sunol had never been driven a mile in her life. Four days before the race I gave her a full mile in 2:401, ^ s h e h ac j shown me the ability to trot quarters better than thirty-five seconds.) Then I repeated her in 2:3S. Two days before the race I gave her a mile and repeat in 2:30 and 2:33^-. Vesolia, by Stamboul, was her competitor in the race, and Sunol won in straight heats — the first heat in 2:34|, the second in 2:25. She was very frightened of the people, which was the only difficulty in managing her. Our stable was then shipped home, and the filly got no more miles, but the usual work, with occasional fast quarters and halves, until the meeting at Petalum'a, late in August. Before her race at Petaluma she got a mile and repeat in 2:38 and 2:33. She broke in the first heat of the race, but captured the heat in EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 1 65 2:28|. The next she won, pulled up, in 2:20. She was not taken from home again until October, in the second week of which we shipped her to the Bay District Track at San Fran- cisco. She was now suffering from sexual causes, and was not at herself. She was to perform on October 20th, and before that day I worked her a mile and repeat on two occasions. The first time was in 2:32 and 2:25, the second in 2:28^ and 2:23. These were the only miles she was driven until the 20th, when she lowered Wildflower's 2:21, which had stood for seven years unapproached as the two-year-old record of the world. Sunol trotted that day in 2:20^-. We decided to start her on the 27th to lower her own record, but she was given no more miles until that day. The track was good, except in front of the grand stand, where it had not dried out. We came out for the word, and got it, with Mr. Orrin A. Hickok driving a running horse as a prompter. According to the official time we went the first quarter in 35 seconds, the sec- ond in 3tt^, the third in 34^, and the fourth in 34^, making the mile in 2:18. According to my watch, which I carried in my hand, we made the first quarter in 35, the second in 35, the third in 3-1, and the fourth in 34, the watches timing the mile the same — 2:18. This was the last mile Sunol was driven up to this writing (March 15, 18S9). Although so sensitive and high-strung, Sunol is not a bad actor. She shows no disposi- tion to break, and only made one break in all her miles. She is courageous and anxious, but sticks to the trot. This, in brief, is the story of the training and performances of the greatest two-year-old that has yet appeared — a filly that has set the two-year-old record of the world at a mark which it is a mighty achievement for a horse of any age to equal, and one which I do not expect to see equalled by another two-year- old for many a year. If I have here succeeded in giving a faint idea of our method of training, I have accomplished all I have aimed at. My work on "TRAINING THE TROTTING HORSE " will be fully illustrated, and will treat upon every point in breeding, 1 66 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. rearing, breaking, training and trotting, management in the stable and on the race track, driving in races and preparing for races, and the treatment of the accidents and ailments that all horses in training are subject to. It will moreover contain full training and racing histories of the greatest horses I have driven, from the mighty Smuggler downward, includ- ing all the Palo Alto stars. The work will be published in New York this summer, and I hope to make it one that will deserve a place in the library of every breeder, trainer, and general horseman in America. CHARLES MARVIN. ""Palo Alto" California, March, 18S9. APPENDIX. One thing which I have forgotten and which I think is important enough to add an appendix, is in case of a stiff- kneed horse, as we term it when one has not enough knee action and does not get his front feet out of the way of his hind ones, goes stubbing along and sometimes forges. Many times in these cases a string of bone rattles buckled loosely above the pastern or fetterlock joint will make them pick up quicker and get their feet out of the way. If this does not have the desired effect, use a loaded roll made of four-ply buckskin, the upper and lower ply one-third larger than the two middle ones, and fill them with deer's hair so they will be soft and won't chafe. Fill the two middle ones with flax-seed and small shot until you get the weight desired, which is usually six ounces each, but I have used as high as eight. Have four buckles and billets attached with a tongue to lap by where the roll comes together, so as to prevent the ends of the roll from chafing. They should be buckled up to fit the ankle, for if there is much play to them they will chafe the skin. I used a pair of these rolls this morning for the first time on a horse that had never trotted a quarter better than forty seconds without them. He just stepped me off a quarter in thirty-seven sec- onds. That was what refreshed my memory in omitting this point. I have used them for several years, and the more I use them the better I like them. Iri§t of 2:30 jJor§e§ in game: UP TO 18S9. Taken by Special Permission from " Wallace's Year Book," Volume IV.

My goods are first-class in all respects, and fully warranted in every particular. Constant improvement, and strict attention to the wants of the trade, has gradually brought my work to the front, and the increasing sales from year to year is sufficient proof of its quality. Among the several new styles which I offer this season is THE R ANNER £!=&s=3« SRRIISG ROAD W AGON. Recently patented by me. This wagon proves a universal favorite among horsemen generally, it being light, durable and strong, and at the same time so simple as to allow me to offer it at a figure within the reach of all.

PRAY'S PATENT SULKIES My Patent Comabnation Sulkies have been in use for eight years, and their superiority clearly established. Messrs. James Golden. J. J. Bowen, W. H. Saunders, Frank Van Ness, A. J. Feek, and other leading horsemen use them and pronounce them the best in use. They have stood the most rigid tests and proved their superiorit}* in strength, durability, lightness and elegance. In their manufacture every piece of lumber is most carefully selected, and tested, iron work is solid (not jumped), wheels, bolts, and in fact every part of the Sulky is hand made. In construction the greatest strength and stiffness is se- cured by strengthening the resisting and sustaining power at all important points. In my ''Improved" Sulky, the Axle has been set back, (see cut), in order to secure greatest possible room, also to keep the horse from hitting the Axle. These Sulkies are built any width or height desired with- out interfering with the rigidity of the Axle. I claim for them that they are the easiest riding Sulky made. PRICE OF IMPROVED STYLE, - $140.00 " STANDARD, 125.00 BOXING, 5.00 I have also a Sulky of my own make which is far supe- rior in every way to any before offered to the public for the money. PRICE, $100.CO In ordering, please give length and height of horse, or any peculiarity in gait. TERMS— NET CASH, DELIVERED F. 0. B. AT DEPOT IN BOSTON JOSEPH F.
