His horse might not win, but it always managed to 

 carry his clip to the wire. Goldsmith united this reef 

 of the "Field Marshal" with Splan's electrical flourish, 

 seeing, feeling and knowing only one thing until the 

 wire was passed, and that he proved an industrious 

 man is demonstrated by the following table, which 

 shows that during the sixteen years he was before the 

 public as a private and public trainer he started one 

 hundred and fifty-six horses in one thousand and 

 twenty-three races, of which he won three hundred and 

 seven, was second in two hundred and forty-five, third 

 in one hundred and fifty-one, fourth in one hundred 

 and twenty-six and unplaced in one hundred and 

 ninety-four, winning premiums, and that at a time 

 during the era of small purses, amounting to 

 $239,115.08.
