Can 1902 compare very favourably, on this showing, either with 1852 or 1802? 

 I think not. In 1900 it was considered by many that a panacea for all our evils had 

 been brought over by the " American methods." But this was not Lord Durham's 

 opinion. In one of those remarkably outspoken utterances with which he has more 

 than once benefited the English Turf, he announced in the October of that year that 

 Newmarket had sadly changed in the course of the last generation, for it was " now 

 a sort of cosmopolitan dumping-ground." Explaining himself at greater length, he 

 objected specifically to many American visitors, because "they consider horse-racing 

 as merely an instrument of high gambling," and he denounced the prominence of 

 American jockeys in view of the fact that one of them, Sloan, " was suspended last 

 year for disobedience at the post. This year he was reprimanded for unscrupulous 

 riding in the Derby ; he was disqualified for bumping and boring at Liverpool July 

 Meeting ; and he was complained of for unfair riding at Doncaster, and suspended 

 for the remainder of the meeting." Speaking of the same American jockey, another 

 critic wrote that season : "In race after race we see them come all over the course.
