take the head and neck of the photo and
place it on the body of the Chicago
Horseman cut and you will have tip-top
picture of him in his prime. Although a
small horse he was very toppy, which
was his greatest fault in speeding, as he
carried his head so high and was so very
excitable in a race he was apt to get to
pulling, which would cause him to choke
and wheeze, and the consequence was he
would lose his speed in the heat and race,
and all drivers were afraid to drive him
without oyer-check all through his life
at the same time their excuse was he
would choke if they pulled him, or would
run away with them, so much so that
he never was able to show his full speed
in race.
