They are not broken to polo until they are four or five years old; by this time they are stronger than ponies bred in England or on the playing fields of Westbury will ever...

Tilden would swing lazily through the first rounds; in the third and fourth rounds it became easier to see that he would win the last. In late afternoon matches his huge shadow would creep and flicker toward the clubhouse. By the time his opponent's shadow was in the middle of the press marquee, Tilden's shadow had gone upstairs. It was a terrifying shadow, with steps like dark lightning, enough to frighten any opponent...
