have to walk to circulate his bowels. Though 

 Escape was obliged to go over to the four-mile 

 post for his starting, (and it must have tlie same 

 effect upon horses as it has u[)on riders, in i)ropor- 

 tion to their species,) it often happens where a 

 rider has been trained for riding, (and the manner 

 is nearly the same as that adopted in training 

 horses,) that a rider of so light a weight as 

 seven stone at times will weigh seven pounds 

 or more on the following day. By this it may be 

 conceived how a horse at times may be affected 

 if too kindly fed, &c. for his second day's race; 

 thus a rider's character is staked against the train- 

 ing-groom's management and conduct. 



Some people say by Sir Charles Bunbury as they 

 do by me, that Sir Charles at times runs his 

 horses to lose intentionally *, and this has been 

 said of Sir Charles ever since his horse Bellario 

 lost and won easy, at Newmarket, in 1770^ down 



* I don't think Sir Charles can know of those things being 

 said of him.
