ENGuSHNAN'S ADVICE
Cannon Describes Incidents
> Experienced While Pilot
ing Th0rOughbreds.

Mornington Cannon, the English
jockey, tells with great detail in an
English magazine OF the dangers, sur
prises and odd incidents of racing.
Cannon says:
"A race does not consist In just get
ting away well al the start and riding
d strong finish These two things are,
of course, essential. but the most criti-
cal part of q race is half way through
it. There are so many little things
that one can do TO help ones horse
you have to judge the best time to
give him breaJher5 you have 70 see
and this is a point which is not gem
orally knoWn-when you may safely
rest him by changing the gallOp from
one leg to the other. Much, naturally,
depends on the horses disposition
Many people think that all horses
are filled Wirh the excitement of racing,
and run for the pleasure and sport of
getting in first. This may apply to old
horses that have won several races,
but, generally speaking, young horse
is ready to do anything on the course
except so right to the front, and you
have absolutely to force it,
''The reason of this may be that in
exercise the youngsters are usually led
by other horses. and get SO in the habit
of following that they cannot forget it
when actually racing. With some
horses, however. ia the middle OF a
race, it pays to drop at another horses
heels for while and come out at the
finish to win,
But the skill required to win a race
is not all expended in the middle of the
run. The finish, which is the most dra-
matte part to watch, is not by any
means as simple as it looks. There are
a hundred and one things to think Of
besides mere speed.
You must, for instance, be careful
not to pick up your whip on the same
side as the leg on which your horse is
galloping-a thing that is not so Won
derfully easy to attend to when anoth-
er horse is there. You must be careful,
too, not to touch another horse. A
tired horse may, without intention on
the Jockeys part, hit another ever 50
slightly, and thereby put him out of
MS stride which, as i have already
said, is enough to turn the issue of
the race. Another thing that one has
10 look out for is 10 prevent ones own
horse striking anOther's heels.
The successful riding of race is
obviously a matter of experience. but
il is possible to describe one or two
useful points. In pulling q horse round
a turn for instance, the following
dodge is often valuable. Saw the horse
is going to the right. you put the left
rein across his neck and pun to the
right with that and not with the right
rein This method keeps the horse
from changing On the wrong leg. and
as every Jockey knows many a race
has been lost by a neck or a head
owing to the horse changing his LEGS at
a critical moment. 1t is, of course
frequently necessary to effect this
Il
scribe how it is done. it is a question
Of knowledge and sympathy. L can
only say that you first steady your
morse and then make him feel by hand
and knee that you want him to go on
the other leg"
