vaseline; if the race is in the morning, feed little grain. 

 about one or two quarts. 



During the race, the periods at a trot should be consid- 

 erably shorter than during training, in order to avoid wind- 

 ing the horse. Dismount as often as possible, especially 

 going up and down hill. Do not be afraid to water in mod- 

 erate quantities once or several times on the road; there is 

 no danger if you do not take too fast a gait just after water- 

 ing.
