THE EDUCATION OF TWOYEAROLDS TWOYEAROLDSLKXIXGTOX LKXIXGTOX Ky April 17 Perhaps I do not know as much about horse training as I should know or as I think I know but Id never permit one of my twoyearolds to be broug t back to tlie barrier for a second try in one after 10011 said Goldblatt after he witnessed such a i erformance at the Kentucky Jockey Club track yes erday aft ¬ ernoon during the schooling hour If twoyear old begins faultily at the first attempt there is no insurance that he will not do likewise at the second attempt but if the second attempt is deferred until the succeeding day the chances are greater that he will start better than if he is brought buck to the barrier within a few minutes for second attempt attemptWhat What young horses learn about starting in one afternoon is often what they retain so if the beginning is bad it is well to give them every opportunity to forget it To impress by repetition is apt to be costly on racing days
