112 PREPARATION, 
I fear he will have to follow in the wake of Mr. Ten Broeck, 
and seek victory against native horses in his own country. 
I have never heard anything said for or against his mode of 
training, and therefore conclude it must be much the same as 
our own. But this I do know: the horse he ran at Epsom, 
Preakness, was bigger than ever I saw an English horse 
turned out to run in good company. The animal may 
have shown the result of the American system of training 
and Mr. Sanford’s idea of condition, but certainly was not 
prepared, according to my notion, for a two-mile course. 
Of other foreign horses, most are trained after our fashion 
whilst here. Indeed, asa rule, the preparation is entrusted 
to English trainers, and consequently could hardly he 
otherwise.
