Jockey Joe Narvaez will not ride for some
time to come
Yesterday Judge Riley. after taking him
IF I. II. Williams horse St. Croix and
substituting BurliDghame, suspended him
Iending an investigation OF a serious
charge.
Naryaez is engaged to ride for Williams.
and yesterday he WAS to have ridden that
centleman's horse st. Croix in the fourth
race, selling affair, at a mile and seventy
yards. Besides ST. Croix, Revolver, Garcia,
ST. Patrick and Democrat were 10 start
Garcia was a decided favorite in the bet
ting, and it appears from the several stories
Of the affair that NaTvaeZ thought he would
Win. BE wanted to bet few hundred dol
lars on him, but, according to the story, did
not fancy CHANGING it.
he therefore approached Clancy. ReyOl-
ver's jockey, and said. Here's chance to
make few hundred dollars, ure money.
Let's shoe Garcia in"
What reply Clancy made Is not known.
but the judges got wind of the CONVERSE
lion in the following manner: Clancy told
B. c. Holly, Revolver's owner, of NarVaez
proposition. Then Holly informed Tom
Williams.
Williams was thunderstruck to find that
repeatedly, was throwing him down. When
Williams accused Naryaez Of treachery the
latter became indignant and taking off his
cUlors, denied making such statement and
added that he did not propose to ride for
any man that had no confidence in his
honesty.
Narvaez denies that he ever spoke to
Clancy about the race, and Clancy refuses
10 tell anything.
Il is supposed that some bookmakers dealt
with Narvaez, and the judges intend to
examine their sheets.
Garcia went 10 the post at even money!
while ST Croix, who opened at 21a 10 l, went
back to to l when Bnrlinghane's name
was substituted in place OF Naryaez. Re-
y0iyeT was held at to l, the others at any
odds one wanted.
81. Patrick was first away. but St Croix
passed MIN after lew jumps. Passing the
quarter they were all closely punched. but
going TO the half ST. Croix and Garcia
drew away from the others, the former
leading by half a length. Garcia did not
seem TO have his usual turn of speed. lie
never could get up to st. CrOiX. VINO led
him a half length into the stretch, and
then drew away from him. a furlong
from home Garcia sulked, and Burlinghame
brought St. CToiX home an easy winner by
two and half lengths. Revolver and St.
Patrick fought it out for third money, two
lengths back, and the Saint got the verdict
by nose. The run was made IN 4S.
Democrat started to bleed when he swung
into the stretch and Sullivan pulled him up.
The principal event of the day was the
handicap a six furlOnEs, the third race on
the card. Wildwood, Sympathettc's Last,
PescadOT, 1Opgallant, Bessie w, Lottie
Mills, Misty Morn and Wild Robin were the
starters.
Misty Morn was considered good third
aud she was backed so persisEen at eVens
that Wiidwood's price receded to to l.
Sympatnetic's Last, on the strength of his
run the day before, was made second
choice at 3 to l, and a good part Of the
Shewd division backed him. They we're the
O. ly three that had any support. Thirty to
one could be had against PescadoT, 20 to l
against LOttie Mills and 10 10 l against
IOpgallant.
Wen, the race was the greatest upset OF
the season, and the way 1t resulted cost the
public about $4,000
Neither Of the three well-backed ones
finishe d enc. two. three, and ID. r. Dckey
the owner of PescadoT, who won the race
handily, had but one ticket on him. 1t was
made In the field book. and read $50 to 81
Burlinghame, the Jockey VINO rode hiIn, al
ways puts small bet on his mounts, aad on
this occasion bet $40 each way at 30 TO 1.
He won $500.
Tie start was rather struggling, and saw
LOttie Mills out in front, with Pescad0r
and Topgalant following. Wildwood and
Sympathic's Last. the last away, and when
Sympaihelhic's Last swung in front of the
son of Wilddle there was trouble. The
latter jumped on him, and then fell back a
bit Sympathetic Last was cut badly, and
his chances Of winning were ruined.
BuTllBghame rushed PescadOr to the
front after going a little way. He was
never headed afterward and won by two
and a half lengths from TOpgallant, who
was third most Of the journey, he beating
Lottie Mills half length for the place in
driving finish. Bert Harte, who made his
temperance in the saddle, finished fourth,
with Wildwood close up The run was
= very fast 1:13R, and shows that PeseadOr
2. not outclassed much in any company
when he is good.
The FIRST event-a four and half furlOng
dash for two-year-Olds-was gilt for l.. j.
Roses black colt Bordeaux.
AS he outclassed his field, he was TO
10 favoTite. He had no trouble landing the
money, Tor he beat Polaski and Happy
Band, who finished In the order named,
easily.
Ovation, hot favorite in the maiden two
year-oid event at five furlongs. outclassed
her field just as much as Bordeaux did his,
and she was the last favorite 10 win. Claire
was second and Jennie Deane third.
Solitude, on her good run last Thursday,
when she got off bad last, and finished
third, WIS warm choice In the closing
race, a selling affair at six fnrloDgs, which
had ten starters.
Little Tough was a well-backed second
choice but a bad start and pOor jockey
ruined whatever chances he had.
