 ting the weights up in favour of the trial horse, 

 because we want to know whether the opinion 

 we formed of our best colt, when we tried him 

 as a yearling, was correct or not. 



The orders for riding this and other trials we 

 will fully explain in the next chapter, when we 

 come to try our two young ones again in the 

 spring. Let us consider the above trial to have 

 been run, and decided much in favour of the 

 young ones, the best colt winning very easy by 

 a long way, and that the second best beat the 

 trial horse two clear lengths.
