What reading level is Memories of Men And Horses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the merits of Gladiateur there can be no doubt his handicap performances showed that ; but after his year classic form was not wonderful Lord Lyon, Hermit, Blue Gown and Pretender were followed by Kingcraft as Derby winners, and though the last- named was about the best-looking Derby winner I have seen, he was certainly a bad one according to classic standard.
Lord Lyon, of course, became the sire of Minting, an immeasurably better horse than himself, and Hermit developed into a much greater... stallion than he ever was a race-horse ; but Blue Gown, whom we had at Cobham for two or three years before he was sold to Mr James R. Keene, and died in mid-Atlantic, was one of the very worst stallions ever known in England, though strangely enough he had made quite a success in Germany.
Pretender went wrong in his wind and did no good ; but Favonius was a really fine horse, and it is wonderful that with him and the succeeding Derby winner, Cremorne great horses both the Sweetmeat line of Gladiator, through Parmesan, did not go from strength to strength ; but experience proves that nature defeats all the most clever schemes of breeding, and, to the best of my belief, there is not a single male descendant of PRINCE CHARLIE AND CREMORNE 197 either Favonius or Cremorne in the Stud Book at the present day.
