METHODS OF TRAINING.
REMARKABLE SIMILARITY
Sending horses of well-proved speed in short, sharp sprints on the track may help them to retain brilliancy, but sometimes the theory of training generally adoplcd seems to bo completely wrong, states the Dunedin writer “Sentinel. ’ V ben a horse ban fully demonstrated the possession of brilliancy the object of the trainer should ho to teach the ability to carry it along. In ether words, stamina should be added to speed. Continually asking a horse to do the same thing morning after morning gets it into a cast-iron groove. Sprint a horse morning after morning in his fast work, anil he will do nothing but sprint. Work a horse once round every morning and in a very little while no pulling up will he required. Ho will stop at die end of his familiar task. Watching track work and reading track reports reveal the existence. of a remarkable similarity of method and a lack of variation.
