112 PREPARATION. 



I fear he will have to follow in the wake of Mr; Ten Broeck, 

 and seek victory against native horses in his own country. 



I have never heard anything said for or against his mode of 

 training, and therefore conclude it must be much the same as 

 our own. But this I do know : the horse he ran at Epsom, 

 Preakness, was bigger than ever I saw an English horse 

 turned out to run in good company. The animal may 

 have shown the result of the American system of training 

 and Mr. Sanford's idea of condition, but certainly was not 

 prepared, according to my notion, for a two-mile course. 



Of other foreign horses, most are trained after our fashion 

 whilst here. Indeed, as a rule, the preparation is entrusted 

 to English trainers, and consequently could hardly be 

 otherwise.
