Tod Sloan - 'Snapper' Garrison is said to have initiated two revolutions: he went flat out from start to finish and he rode short. But an Indiana boy almost freakish when young went so much further in both regards and was so overwhelmingly successful, that the worldwide adoption of the new technique is clearly to be credited to him. Alas, neither his morals nor his commonsense matched his ability. The History of Horse Racing by Roger Longrigg, page 230.
