At Savannah I won a three-mile-heat race with Moidore' 

 beating Tar River, a noted horse of the time, and several 

 others. At two and four miles Frank Allen again won. 



The feature of this campaign, which ended at this time, 

 was the fact that my horses always beat horses that had pre- 

 viously in other campaigns beaten them. We probably won 

 about $30,000 in purses alone, but the owners were big bettors, 

 and when 1 told them my horses were fit they never failed to 

 get down with all they could get placed. The result was, 

 they must have "cleaned up," as the saying is, about $100,- 

 000. There was hardly ever a time we lost, and even then I 

 saw that they had their money safely " placed." Thus they 

 never lost. The campaign was remarkable because of the 

 winnings and the running of the horses that were thought 

 to be of inferior class. 



Glendower and Laclede were placed in my hands by 

 B. F. Hutchinson in Missouri, and I raced them through a 

 vigorous campaign. Glendower was one of the fastest horses 

 I ever handled. 



There were hundreds of other horses that I trained and 

 raced, but many of them attained no especial fame, although 

 they frequently won races. In any event, the owners never 

 suffered financially through my training, and they knew that 

 when I pronounced a horse unworthy of training that there 

 was no hope in him.
