where the animal was to make his final effort, or 

 the race was to be most strongly contested. From 

 this spot, he eyed the horses advancing with a most 

 immovable look ; he breathed quicker as they ac- 

 celerated their pace ; and when they came opposite 

 to him, he rode in with them at full speed, whip- 

 ping, spurring and blowing, as if he would have 

 infused his whole soul into the courage, speed and 

 perseverance of his favourite racer. But when the 

 race was over, whether he won or lost, seemed to 

 be a matter of perfect indifference to him, and he 

 immediately directed his conversation to the next 

 race, whether he had a horse to run or not.*
