From article--
In 1922, the U. S. Morgan Horse Farm again raided the Secretary of Agriculture's Washington stable for its entry in the Test. Gladstone arrived in Middlebury just in time for the haying season, most of which he raked, and to fill in on the carriage team for the depot trips. He was barely saddle broke when he began the final few weeks of conditioning, for a ride that would require him to carry well over 200 pounds three hundred miles. When the ride was over, he had placed second, with a condition score exactly equal to that of the winner, who had made it by a minute three time points. Gladstone's card read "no remarks. Sound as when started."
