To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was in Christmas week that he travelled, and how wintry the weather was may be gathered from the fact that the little blood-mare required "frosting" twice a day! The second time was three-and-forty years later, with a similar object. But this time it was to Sir Francis Grant that he sat, the month was June, and it was his well-known black horse Colwick that carried him over the long ride. It is no doubt more as a g^eat agriculturist and fox hunter than as a Turfite that Sir Tatton Sykes is b...est remembered. But still it must not be forgotten that he was one of the largest breeders of blood stock in England. At the time of his death his stud numbered upwards of 200 horses and mares and it was no small feat for one man to have bred Grey Momus, The Lawyer, St. Giles, Gaspard, Elcho, Dalby, and Lecturer, whose names are enrolled among the mighty victors of classic races, to say nothing of a host of minor winners. Sir Tatton's actual connexion with the Turf, however, as a racing man, was not extensive.
