TOD SLOAN 



One of the best horses I have seen in France, and one 

 in which the greatest change was effected, was Mauve- 

 zin, now at Lord Carnarvon's stud. I bought him out 

 of a selhng race for eleven thousand francs in 1901. 

 When he came to me he could not stay more than four 

 and a half furlongs. In little over a month he gained 

 nearly a htmdred lbs. in weight. Of course it will be 

 remembered that aftei*wards he won with big weights 

 in France, took the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood, and 

 proved a success at the stud. 



Americans taught England a great deal about 

 horses' feet too.
