lO THE TWO-MINUTE TROTTERS 



has its defects need not be denied but they are minor and 

 that the volume contains much of great value is equally true. 



It is the hope of him who conceived it that it may present 

 much that the young trainer, perhaps the older one as well, 

 may find of value to him in his chosen profession for it is 

 a certainty that while the ambition of every trainer is, pri- 

 marily, to develop race winners, his ever abiding hope is 

 that some day he may have the high honor of taking before 

 the public a two-minute horse. 



In conclusion it is fitting that every one who has assisted 

 in getting together the data for this volume be given heart- 

 felt thanks. Without that kind assistance the work could 

 not have been done at all. And the hope is indulged that 

 the reception of the volume by the public will be as hearty 

 as was the response of those who were asked to furnish some 

 of the material.
