So, you seehow the right kind of a shoe can add to a horses dont overlook this, this horse had never raced overa mile track before and the long turns helped some to clearhimself, and, in addition, the Sioux City track was veryfast and that also in part gave Major Dent an increase of12 seconds speed faster than he had ever gone before, solet us place the credit where it belongs, part shoes, turn andtrack, and the wav a horse is No. lO Pacing hind shoe. This shoe I used on a pacing mare, Lillian C, who,like Major Dent, never won a race because of the poorquality of her hind feet. She came to Sheldon, Iowa, where 75 I used to live and was bought by Mr. J. R. Mitchell, ofthat place, was trained and raced by Mr. Harry Leggett. Atthe beginning we had some trouble keeping her hind shoesin place as she would not or could not pace without calks, butbefore she started racing, I put on a pair of shoes as shownin Cut 10, and provided Mr. Leggett with an extra those two pair of shoes she won eight races outof ten starts. And I believe, if her toes had been shortened,when the second pair were put on she might not havelost them because the time was not any faster, but the longtoes tired her at the last end of the mile and Mr. Leggetthad to take third money in both of those last tw^o Mr. Leggett came home with his string, he had had avery successful campaign
