Your description of horse reads well, though brief. But as to the Rayce, Barnabas, though you be a rider born, yet having ridden a many rayces in my day, I now offer you, my dear lad, a word of advice. In a rayce a man must think as quick as he sees, and act as quick as he thinks, and must have a nice judgment of payce. Now here comes my word of advice.
Remember that many riders beat themselves by over-eagerness. Well let 'em, Barnabas. Don't rush your fences, give your mount time, and steady him about twenty yards from the jump. Remember that a balking horse generally swerves to the left, Barnabas. Keep your eye open for the best take-offs and landings. Gauge your payce, save your horse for raycing at finish.
