Of course there were the rare occasions when he was able to persuade a weak-minded owner to give him a mount on a hopeless outsider or a horse entered only for the sake of the workout, but the five-dollar jockey fees were few and far between. They could not be stretched to cover the intervening periods, so Little Calamity did his best to be a petty larcenist with indifferent success.
Do this until the distance is as far as can comfortably be recovered by pushing the hand against the wall. Reverse this exercise, so as to do it with the other arm. This is an excellent workout for the shoulder muscles as well as for the forearms, and gives some exercise to the body.
"Must be figuring to give him a workout and a race all at once," said the chalk merchants. All these things being known, a certain elderly gentleman did not have to beg the bookmakers to take his money. He passed from block to block in the big ring, stripping small bills from a fat roll, and receiving pasteboards in exchange.
That's from the radiated heat of our recent encounter. Heat rays reflected, light bombs turned off, heat escaping from ions nice little workout and it didn't seriously bother our defenses of two-inch relux. Now tell me: what will blow up four-foot relux?" asked Arcot, looking at the fragments. "It seems to me those fellows don't need any help from us; they may decline it with thanks."
Meanwhile it was planned that those who meant to take part in any of the events on the long programme should have a last "workout" that Friday afternoon. Saturday morning it was intended they should rest up, so as to be in the pink of condition when the meet opened at one o'clock.

"Suppose Curry gets into the race." "Bonehead!" growled Wilson. "You've got Curry on the brain. Outside of Elisha there's no class to his string of beetles, and Elisha is a distance horse.
He should have known she would tell Francesca the big picture, anyway, if not the details. He hoped Jacky would find someone soon. She wasn't bashful. There was bound to be somebody in Maryland who would love to oblige her. Whoever he was, he was going to get a workout and good crab cakes. Jacky had been straight with him. Oliver appreciated that. And he'd been straight with her.
An exercising body really does make antidepressant neurochemicals called endorphins, but only after about 45 minutes to an hour of aerobic workout. Endorphins are powerful, with painkilling and euphoric effects equal to or greater than heroin, but without any undesirable side effects.
The tenth was Jeremiah and the most reckless hustler at the track refused to consider the black horse as a contender for anything but sanguinary honours. "Him? Nix! Didn't you hear about him? Why, he bled this morning in his workout! No chance!"
"Well, I think he's due for a pipe opener to-morrow. It's just three days till the Derby, an' we've got to give him a strong workout. Besides, it'll put you next what you've got to do in the race. To-morrow mornin' you had better canter him just slow around once, an' then send him a full mile-an'-aquarter as though there was money hung up for it.
