Excerpt from The American Turf Fora decade more than the three score years and ten allotted by a gracious Providence to man I have been awaiting the solemn call which comes to all human kind to weigh in, and then to the great Steward make account of the use to which I put the opportunities that came to me. In the active competition of life, when rivalries were keen, when ambitions created new fields and contests kept alert both mind and body, there was little time, indeed, to do more than merely store away in unclassified groups in memory events and incidents each one deserving of a sep arate chapter. To write a history of the American turf had long been a cherished project, but each day of a life of practically unremitting and exacting labor interfered until the westering sun of my eightieth year warns me that I must be up and doing if I would achieve my cherished ambition and leave behind me something which I trust will be worthy tribute to the best and the noblest sport that it is given to man to enjoy. If in the chapters which are to come there should be noted a tone of enthusiastic optimism, let the reader realize that sixty-five years of my life were spent in the activities oi the turf as a jockey, a trainer and an owner; that I have seen, and in many of them personally participated, practically all of. The great contests which gave fame to our thorough breds; that I have traveled on foot through valleys and over mountains, when but rough paths pointed the way between places now drawn close together by the bands of great trunk line railroads, leading the horse that was on conquest bent; that I spent weary weeks on journeys that now would be but the occupation of one brief day of luxurious travel; thati have seen the upward and the onward progress which has marked the rise of the thoroughbred in America from a little meet in some isolated though sport-loving place to the magnificent seasons of Belmont Park.

Excerpt from The American Thoroughbred For the existence of this thing which we call the thoroughbred horse of America, we, in common with all countries of civilization, must give thanks to England. There is not at this day galloping upon the turf of any land under the sun a single animal worthy of the name of race-horse which does not go back through generations to an original English foundation. The American turf is only the English turf transplanted, with some alterations, to a new soil. Our whole instinct for racing comes from our English and Irish ancestry, and we were the first country outside of England itself to begin the breeding of horses for purposes of the turf and for their general improvement.

Excerpt from The American Turf: An Historical Account of Racing in the United States, With Biographical Sketches of Turf Celebrities, 1898 Mtion nicSrio; li;is: itl;iincd the highest import: ince;ind popuhirity ornny sport in the United St;ites, while the blood horse has t: ikcn: i position in public estimation only second to that held bv his compeers of Great Britain, the native honle of hisiace. it is true that love ol the horse and interest in his capabilities have never at any time in our history been lackina; on the part of Americans. In this respect, indeeil, our coMnti vmrn ha efrankly confessed their oritiin. and have been line to one of the principal tiaits of chai acter that dislinijuish the Hnlish speaking people. Nc vertheiess, despite the attention that was early given to the lunning turf in this coLintrv. the complete development of this spoil and a full lecognition of ihe importance of the thoroughbred horse have been of comparatively recent growth. It is almost within the remembrance of those now living when racing was conlined to particLilar sections, wlien breeding the noble animals who minister to the highest of sports was conducted on, -1 small scale, and when theii peiloiinances on the tiack awakened, outside of the ciixle especially devoted to racing, only a very limited popular interest. It is our privilege to live at a time when this condition of affairs has passed away almost completely and. it is conlidently hoped, perm.inenth . 1 )isc(iur.igement now no longer confmiUs the sportsman whose intelligent efforts ai edirected towaid the impro-ement of the hoise n-ihe diauiiiisn.ilinn ni his iiowris. lulead there is een exhibiled a libel, d aiui iiicieasiiig degree of public appreciation of the benefit which is thus conferred upon llieiMiiiiiiiinilv.it l.iige. ap.iil hum the mere rclax.ition which the sport affoiiis its p.itroiis. Racing h.is also helped to break down the sectional b.irriers which Innm-ih existed between the v.irious divisions ol our coLintrv. While the turf owes so much of its prest iit popularity, ind success to unsellish devotion ind unslinled expeiidiliiie 11 Ihe p.lit of men of we.illh. it rem.iins a truly democratic sport, the legitimate pleasures of which can be shared ball classes, and which is llierefore eminenllv suited to the spirit 1 h.it animates our n.itional life. The widespre.id interest that is shown in It is no longer limited bv any sectional considerations, ll fuithermore creates hiller general knowledge o(thec.ipabilities of all parts of the land, ind arouses the spirit of national pride, demonstratinir as it does the wonderliil diversity ol natiii.il conditions within the limits of the United States. These things are conspicuously displ.iyed mthe animals that the different sections produce and the modificiltlon and improvement of horseflesh th.it results under variations of soil and climate, j, Moreover, the popularity of the tiirf With the very class whose presence is most needed to irtsute its continued existence and healthy devolpment is, fully assured. Its honors arc, as they should be, sufficient to draw into the ranks of its active supporters those who are foremost in our social and business life. Men of the highest standing and greatest wealth arc numbered among its most active participants. As already intimated, they have taken the lead in raising the standard of the American horse. Their private breeding establishments, conducted on a scale unequaled in any part of the world, have given the most successful and remarkable evidence of the science and skill that can be devoted to the production oj perfect animals, and the appreciation which their efforts call forth is a powerful inducement to others to follow their example. At the same time it is to gentlemen of such character that the patrons of the turf look for the regulation of its affairs upon the basis which alone can render it a spoit worthy of public confidence.

Excerpt from American Turf Register and Sporting Magazine, 1934-1935, Vol. 6 If it were her fate sometimes to encounter a superior, she was never beaten by that one in a second campaign; when Monsieur Tonson and Sally Walker were her victors, during the short period of their glorious triumphs, she may not have been in equal condition. Recovering readily from the effects of a hard race, she started every season, at every meeting within her reach, wearing down all opponents; she was never known to be lame, even to the close of her long and brilliant career.
