breeders are not careful enough in
the selection Of their parent stock. Nor
do they take pains enough to ascertain
the pecuffarities and characteristics Of
the families from which the parent
stock comes.
In the trotting horse everything has
been neglected for speed. and in the
thoroughbred in this country, nothing
but this element has been considered:
the result Is too well known to be re-
capitulated. Notwithstanding this no
body seems to try to remedy the de-
fects that this near sightedness has
produced. There is not zone trotting
horse in thousand whose anatomical
formation, physical and constitutional
goundness. will permit him to become
2:10 trotter. nor is there one race
horse in the same number that can
gallop mile in first class company
