CARE AND TRAINING OP TROTTERS. 



Chapter VI — Three-year-olds. 



HE training of thfee-yeai--olds 

 does not differ greatly from that 

 of the younger colts except, with 

 added age, most youngsters re- 

 quire more work. It has. been 

 thought advisable to devote a 

 separate chapter to the three- 

 year-olds, as such a division admits of a more care- 

 ful study of several prominent colts of that age, 

 whose training will be of interest to the reader. 

 If a colt has been trained as a yearling, or as a 

 two-year-old, its training as a three-year-old will 

 be along the lines previously written of, but ex- 

 tended as, in the opinion of the trainer, best suits 

 the individual case. 



If a colt has not been previously trained; and 

 the owner desires to race the colt as a three-year- 

 old, it will be necessary to proceed with early 

 training, as previously set forth for colts of a 

 younger age, except that the education and train- 

 ing will have to be rushed and crowded into a 

 shorter space of time. 



To save repetition of advice we will assume 

 that the colt has been previously trained — raced 

 as a two-year-old if you wish.
