II was day Of many withdrawals, which most
seriously impaired the interest of the sport And yet
there was nothing IN the condition of the track or In
f-1 conditions OF the races TO excuse the tlndlty OF
owners There were long faces all over the grounds
when it was found that La TOsca, Tenny, Strathmeath
Judge Morrow and Major Domo had been taken out OF
the Racing Stakes leaving only the Insignificant ana
almost valueless Charlie Post to run against Racine
The record breaker, at mile In fact 50 serious ana
numerous were the Withdrawals OF famous horses from
the various contests that programme which had prom
