Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life With the Trotters For several years it has been apparent that a book having to do with the present history of the trotting turf would be welcomed and appreciated by a vast constituency who take an active interest in the light-harness horse; and this volume has been prepared with that fact in mind. Of the men who have written what appears in its pages, little need be said. Budd Doble´s name is known wherever the trotting horse has been heard of; his ability has never been questioned, and he stands to-day nearer, perhaps, to the American public than any other man in his profession. John Splan is an artist in the sulky, a man of positive genius in the matter of driving a horse, while his wonderful memory, keen appreciation of what is interesting to the public, and entertaining way of relating it, combine to make his portion of the book of exceptional interest and value. Mr. Dunbar, in addition to being a trainer and driver of the first rank, possesses an analytical mind of the highest type, and that his literary style is at once simple and fascinating, the readers of this book will, I am sure, admit. That his chapters on the training and management of young trotters are the most valuable in the book, is my deliberate judgment. I desire to in this public manner express my obligations to Messrs, Doble and Dunbar for the more than generous manner in which they have shown their friendship for me, by contributing to this volume matter which money could not have secured, and without which the work would have been of far less value. Mr. Robert Bonner, who has done more than any other man to elevate the trotting turf, and who has made it possible for a business man to own a trotter, either for road or track use, without his standing in the commercial or social world being impaired thereby, I would thank for the encouragement and endorsement he gave me at a time when such action was of more value than money could possibly have been. For unsolicited acts of friendliness that can be but partially repaid by an acknowledgment of this character, I am indebted to Messrs. R. A. Bower John, R. Walsh, and C. H. Durphy, of Chicago.
