This was the very mild sentence meted
out by the stewards of the Jockey Club
yesterday to Squeak Allmark for one of
the most despicable and deliberate pieces
of foul riding ever witnessed on a race
track. 1t all occurred in the hurdle race,
which, together with steeplechases, are no
torious for rough riding. Major Ban, with
Allmark up, opened favorite at to 2,
closing at IL to 5. April, with Cochrane up,
had tours about him. Wild Oats, ridden
by Galindo, for some unknown reason was
held very close by the bookmakers, to 1
being his price, although he was reported
to have run away two miles in the morn
ing. Known to be very fair performer
over the sticks, this was possibly bait.
Goodbye, Nero and Dave Douglass re-
ceived slight backing. Happy Band,
owned by Billy Jonathan, ridden by his
son, was heavily played by the suckers
outside of the ring" at 4 to l. Haymarket,
owned by Bookmaker Rose, finally bit Is
to 1, and then he was played.
it was a very cleverly worked scheme.
Nero led over the first jump, when Major
Ban went through the bunch, taking the
second Jump in front, followed by Happy
Band. Allmark set slow pace and by the
time the third jump had been reached
Haymarket had managed to get up, and
took the third jump in front, followed by
went to the front, followed by Haymarket
and Happy Band. Taking the last Jump
in the same order they started down the
hill into the hollow for home. Just as they
struck the hollow Jonathan started for the
lead, when Allmark deliberately pulled his
mount over, humping Happy Band against
the fence, knocking young Jonathan out
of the saddle. This was the only way they
could possibly have beaten him, as from
all accounts of persons that witnessed the
fouling Happy Band would have passed
Haymarket on the hill.
The rest was easy. Haymarket won gall
Looping and Major Ban finished second.
The Corrigan entry, Goodbye, finished
third in drive.
After investigating the foul, the judges
disqualified Major Dan, which gave place
to Goodbye, and third money to Dave
Douglass. This was but meager solace to
poor man who was robbed of a purse that
rightly belonged to him, and a rank inius-
tice to hundreds of race-goerS that have
literally patronized the present meeting.
Had the judges declared bets off, as has been
done on several former occasions, it would
have been just blow to the pirates of the
turf that concoct the jobs in many jump
ing events, and ruled off for life some of the
ruffians that ride the horses, steeplechas-
ing might be made clean sport.
Henry Schwartz gelding Monita was
the big surprise of the day, getting away
with the second run at the enormous odds
of so to 1 cleverly ridden by Russell, very
promising boy. Find Out and Gladiator
divided favoritism, the former going to the
post to and the latter II to s. The long
shot took the lead at the foot of the first
hill and was never headed. Gladiator
finished strong and beat Little Bob two
lengths for the place. The distance six
furlongs, was apparently too far for, the
fayorite, who died away, finishing fourth.
The opening run, tive-furlong sprint,
proved gift for the to favorite Grand
Lady, handsome Australian filly.
Getting away in front she led all the way
and won pulled up to walk. Norblich
half-brother to Lovdal, ran an excellent
run at his maiden effort, getting the place
cleverly from Pronto.
The seven-furlong handicap ended in an
other victory for the speedy Hyder Ali
mare Gussie, who went to the post with
AZ to 1 against her. Jack Richelieu, who
seems to be going back or else the track is
getting too dry for him, was favorite at II
to 5. Huntsman, who ran with stable
boy up, was 15 to 1.
The start was a good one for all but
Quirt, who got away poorly, but ran
through her field and was leading at the
bottom of the backstretch hill, with Gussie
second and Huntsman third. She retained
the lead to the stretch hill, where Gussie
passed her and won by two lengths. Hunts
man was good third.
A ive-and-a-half-furlo run, the last |
run on the card, went to the favorite, War |
rago, who came on from fourth place and
won very pretty race. Arno, with Carr
up, was literally backed and got the place
handily from Sea Spray.
