CHAPTER XX. 



RUNNING YEARLINGS. 



At Newmarket, Catterick Bridge, Malton, or 

 any other place at which racing meetings are 

 held sufficiently early, there are mostly stakes 

 opened for yearlings to be entered into. To have 

 a tolerable true run race, it will be advisable to 

 make the stakes worth winning; to obtain this 

 point, the subscription should be thirty sovereigns 

 each, ten forfeit; we will, to shew the reader 

 how the thing is to be done, say, that the annual 

 meeting at which the yearlings' stakes are to be 

 run for is but a few miles distant from our home 

 stable. We shall have to take a couple of horses 

 to run for something at the above meeting. With 

 the horses, we will take the two best yearlings we 

 are supposed to have tried, both of which we 

 found to be very superior to any yearlings we 

 had ever tried before.
