This horse, Donation, which is running at Riecarton, has an extra air attachment—a silver ring let into his windpipe. Ordinarily, it is kept plugged, hut for racing the plug is token out, and on a frosty day the steam shoots out for yards. It is a common surgical operation for broken-winded horses.
