Now there are about 1000 available
for racing. The tracks must have
horses-big fields, lots of competition,
to keep the betting going. There Is
only one answer, each horse must be
raced more often.
Horses raced too much break down.
Horses, like fighters or athletes, can
be overtrained and turn sour. A good
disposition is one of the most i'm
portant attributes of good thorough
bred. With the pressure that is

n YEW YORK. June 14.-The
thoroughbred horse, on which
" the billion-d dollar betting de-
A pends, and because of which
untold millions have been invested in
breeding farms and race tracks is an
animal of about thousand pounds
In weight and standing about Is
hands high. This is the average
thoroughbred-they come bigger and
they come smaller, and size has COM
paratively little to do with the ability
to win races.
A race is test 1t is the only test
of the thoroughbred horse, as looks,
conformation, weight, breeding and
even trials are not positive indications
of quality, The race is such an indi-
cation. Therefore, horses are raced
to test them. and to improve them
by breeding mare, which has proved
herself, to a stallion which has proved
himself. This is what is meant by
improving the breed of horses
Despite good deal of tongue in
cheek Smlrklng, the breed of horses
Is being constantly improved. 1t is
certain that racing would be ham
strung if betting were prohibited, but
1t is just as certain that the i'm
provement of the breed of horses
would 90 on. And it would go on in
exactly the manner it goes on today
Thus betting affects the amount but
not the method of improving the
breed of horses. And now betting is
proving a detriment rather than an
aid. in some places.
Strength In Thoroughbred.
THE reason for cultivating the
thoroughbred horse is that he
gives greater strength and intelli-
gence, as well as more agility. to
whatever horse he is crossed with.
Pound for pound, the thoroughbred
will outpull any horse in the world,
or beat him at his own game He
Is better horse, and has been made
SO by breeding and racing.
The thoroughbred horse is an in
olvldual. He is fed three times a
day, he lives to an average of 20
years, he is old as racer at about
z. and he begins to decline on
the breeding farm at about Is. There
are numerous exceptions in which
horses are still racing at IS, and still
getting foals at 25, but the foregoing
are average estimates.
Yet individuality plays so predom-
1nant part that it is here that the
skill Of trainer shows to greatest ad-
Fantages. In effect good trainer is
one who understands his horse suffi-
clently to get the most out of him.
For example. good doer" who wants
to eat IL quarts of oats a day will
hardly race his best on half that
amount. And a little, light fllly
might be getting along very nicely
on five quarts day and be sluggish
and too fat If fed a larger amount.
In Winter many trainers feed their
horses hot mash on the assumption
that human likes hot meal on a
cold day and SO will horse. Others
disagree with this and stick to the
oats and hay the year round. A
normal amount of hay per day for a
horse is from 20 to 80 pounds.
