The training secrets of Hall-of-Fame trainer, Preston Burch, are once again available in his classic book, Training Thoroughbred Horses. In it he explains how to select, train and campaign horses of all aptitudes to become tough, competitive winners. Burch will teach you how to select yearlings with potential, break and train impressionable young horses, select training regimens to condition horses as individuals, select races which will improve the horse, and how to pick the jockey which is best suited for the animal. You will learn how to feed simple rations that turn into strength and stamina, manage your racing stable so horses remain calm yet fit and how to win more races by understanding the condition book.

About the Author:
Born in 1884 to Hall of Fame Trainer William P. Burch, Preston Burch grew up surrounded by the best trainers racing has ever seen, including James Rowe Sr., Sam Hildreth and Green B. Morris. From them, Burch studied and adopted the best to create his unique style of training. He became almost legendary for getting the best out of every horse in his charge. Burch won nearly every major race and captured nearly every award, title and accolade that racing can bestow. In 1963 he was elected into the Hall of Fame.
Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:
From the Preface: Horses which can't stay the distance are being dropped into shorter and shorter races. The race cards of most tracks consist primarily of sprints. Even these short races are proving to be too grueling for today's finest Thoroughbreds. It's possible that the problem lies not in the quality of horseflesh we have today, but in the manner that we care for and develop it. We have become accustomed to applying quick fixes and instant solutions to complicated problems. Perhaps we need to look back forty years to see how tough, sound racehorses are trained, fed, conditioned and care for; back to an age when Master Horsemen built champions from the ground up, day by day, mile by mile. No trainer epitomizes the Master Horseman better than Preston Burch.
