In 1924 when E. Roland Harriman decided to cut 

 out the matinee end of the Arden Homestead stable 

 he sent his horses to Orlando for the winter. Dicker- 

 son did not hurry any of them in their work, a mile 

 in 2:291/4 being the best shown by Peter Maltby. 

 Later on he raced in 2 : 06 1/4 and proved the best two- 

 year-old of his year. Of the other horses in the 

 stable Guy Trogan, Guy Ozark and Anna Bradford's 

 Girl more than held their own in all kinds of com-

In 1926 and 1927 the Arden Homestead horses 

 were wintered at Fayetteville, N. C. At that point 

 Dickerson and his assistants put in the most of their 

 time with the colts, the aged horses being brushed 

 two or three miles a day. Dickerson adopted that 

 plan with them instead of the old time method of 

 jogging. He found that it gave better results as was 

 seen by the races of Guy Ozark and Highland Scott. 

 The latter was timed separately below two minutes 

 in a race at Toledo and was forced to pace in 2:031/4 

 to defeat Silver Weather over the half-mile track at 

 Middletown in 1928. Guy Ozark also touched a couple 

 of high spots when he won in 2:05% at the Goshen 

 and Middletown meetings that year. 



Another sample can be supplied by the Hodsen 

 stable. Early in 1928 it was shipped from Hartford 

 to Harrington, Del. and returned in May. The horses 

 in this outfit began racing in June and remained on
