 blCj six years old, 7st, two miles, for three hun- 

 dred guineas. This was a very hard race. 



I then rode and won on the Prince of Wales's 

 horse Bubble, 8st. 13lbs. for a subscription 

 weight for age, four miles, against the Duke of 

 Bedford's horse Grey Diomed, 8st. 61bs. I could 

 win this race many lengths in the last two hundred 

 yards. Those two races were in 1790; the 

 horses on both sides, and for both races, were 

 thouo-ht to be well ; and both races were as 

 honestly rode against me as man can ride. 



Had I rode those horses, and the changes in 

 their running been thus against me, it's likely that 

 I should have been censured, if not sacrificed. I 

 rode this last race in a large hack saddle, a new 

 one, and the eye of the stirrup-iron broke, and 

 fell in running the first cjuarter of a mile ; but 

 I was my weight with the bridle. 



I have seen horses chanc-e in their runninp- 



on the same day, from their being brought 



out too full, that a man might be censured
