HEAD BAY.

Concy island track In the worst possible conduoh l
racing, and naturally caused many wthora""'S'

race and although Satisfaction was rot quite h's'
choice in the betting, sl, probably carried aoou' 9

TAYLOR rode the Dawdle colt with little judgment and no
skill This youngster has no remarkable burst OF
epced lie not all Of the class or the same
quality as the Faveriale colt, his stable companion
In fact the Characteristic Of all the Dawdc family AID
Of all the Tom Ochiecs IS their ability TO rate along
at good pace without any sensational
flashes wonderful rushcs at the
finish. But most of our jockeys so stupid that
they ride all horses alike. Every horse that they
got on is handled as II he she were Firenz or
Fsverdale colt. They to think that every one
Of them is to be run under pull ard to win with
rush at the end. If Taylor had ridden the Dawda
COLT all the way, keeping him moving steadily ard
WELL and choosing bis route at the
turns, the Dawdle colt could not have
failed TO get second place although he had chance
OF defeating MAIDSTONE who decidedly outcasses him
this year. although IT is not probable that Maidstone
will make nearly good threey caro!d as the
Dawdle colt. This Of Tnm Ochiltrce and Dawdlc
Is like Lasgard who was Of little account al two but
Q colt of merit at three Maidstone is a precoclous
youngstcr by Vanderbilt, out of Nina Turner, and
will hardly train long. Taylor went very wide
at the turn with the Dawdlc colt, and did not begin
his work him until too late 10 have any chance
His riding undoubtedly Influenced by the fact
the Dawdle colt conccding weight to every
thing in the race, but some horses, no matter what
weight they carry must be ridden all the way to get
the speed out Of them, and shadow Of excuse can
be offered for the clumsy manner in which Taylor lost
many lengths al the turn.
