More long-distance gallops were indulged in this season at Randwick in anticipation of the Derby and Metropolitan than has been the case for some years (says a Sydney writer.) As a rule trainers are content to let their horses do most of their gallops in races, and if not, try them out at their best pace over shorter courses than they have to race in. There was a time when trainers held the view that if a horse was engaged in a long-distance event he should be sent the journey two or three times before the race, but in latter years this practice has been dropped.
