LAT0NIA FALL MEETING OPENING


and the 30 or 100 people that had journeyed
to the post to see the II contestants begin
| the Fpturity struggle thought that Trainer
Frank Vanness must be crazy to send his
colt to the post in such condition. They
were amazed beyond description to learn,
upon their return to the judges stand, that
this same colt had won the $75, 900 prize by
two open lengths from Lady Violet.
Morello's victory demonstrates two start
ling facts First, that he is an exception
ally game animal, and secondly, that the
this years 2-year-olds are worse than .
bad lot.
The Start Was q Good One.
After ten-minute delay in getting the
field punched, Starter Rowe dropped his
flag on q good start, with Lovelace in first
place on the rail- He was outspeeded in
the opening sixteenth by the Belladonna
colt, on which Hamilton was endeavoring
to make runaway race. At the bend into
the homestretch proper, or at the end of the
three furlongs, Morello was seen to be
breaking through from the bunch At the
half-mile post he was at the Bellad onna
colts neck, and Hamilton began to whip
Keene's colt in desperate but futile effort
to retain first place. Nearing the last fur
b
air and came down with vicious severity on
Morello's side. He then took line in each
hand and began to tide the game son of
Eolus, who was right at homo in the mud
his daddy loved so well. From that point
to the finish 1t was no race at all, Morello
easily outspeeding his opponents and win
ming, eased Up in the last dozen strides, by
two lengths in 1:12 1-1
Excellent Time Was Made.
Good time was made considering the heavy
condition of the track. Garrison rode one
of his old time finishes on Lady Violet, but
she had met her master and could only
struggle in second, beating the Belladonna
colt neck for second mouey. As great
horse race 1t was failure, all the glory
going to the winner, for his gameness in
running such grand race in the face of his
severe attack of influenza. There were two
very angry jockeys at the track when the
veteran rider, William Hayward, was lifted
shoe bearing the letters "Futurity" in
pink. They were Jockeys Fitzpatrick and
Isaac Murphy. Fitzpatrick has ridden
Morello in nearly all of his races and it was
his great desire to throw his leg over him
and win the Futurity, besides he was to
receive a fee of $1,000 if MoreIlo won.
Gideon and Daily who have first call on
Fitzpatrick, gave him to understand that he
could ride the colt and he knew nothing to
the contrary until this morning when the
firm notified him that he would have to re-
main on the ground as they would start the
Annie F colt and did not propose to permit
Fitzpatrick to ride any other horse in the
race.
why Fitz Was Disappointed.
Fitz was too heavy to make Annie F colts
,-hA
This explains Fitzpatrick's not riding
Morello, also his loss of $1,000 that surely
would have been his had Gideon and DAILY
given him permission to ride Morello to
victory. The other aggrieved jockey Is
Isaac Murphy. Murphy is under contract
to the Ehret stable, which started two
candidates in Sir Francis and Lidgerwood.
Mr.. Ehret refused toilet Murphy ride either
one of the colts, and also declined to let him |
ride Morello. By this action Murphy lost |
all chan,e of receiving the 81, 900 fee. The
trainer of Morello was in state of mind. |
Both Fitzpatrick and Murphy had promised |
to ride his colt, but at the last moment |
neither could obtain the necessary per.
mission from their respective trainers
Fortunately Billy Hayward was disengaged |
will receive the 81. 900. The friends OF Fitz-
patrick and Murphy are tonight denouncing
the Ehret and DAILY and Gideon people in
very strong terms, while Fitz and Isaac are
mad clean through over losing the $1,000.
From day break until sunset the sky wore
appearance and caused falling
off in the expected attendance of %, 900 to
10000. ..s..

hard task for him to beat Lepanto head
for third money. After the futurity had
been disposed of, Leonawell galloped away
from his competitors in the fifth race, and
over the turf from Cleaning to 1, who
was very badly handled by Fitzpatrick,
who had probably not yet recovered his
natural good humor which was rufied by
his Morello experience. Jockey Jim Nc
Laughlin's Key West carried the hopes and
dollars of the talent in the betting on the
last race, but he was all out at the end of

cleverly in the last furlong from Temple
