DOESN'T WEAR BLIHKERs
Judge Martins Vision Not
Like Alexander Officials.
HAULED L'HOMMEDIEU UP
Wants an Explanation bout Dutch
Girls Suddenly Changed Form.
Murphy Again Loses Race
Through 0verconfidence-St
FlynnNot Q p to His Usual \ Iertness.

Those of the owners at the across-the-
river tracks who Systematically pull their
horses for three or four races and then cut
them loose and win in fast company will
find that they bark up the wrong tree when
they attempt the trick at the st. Asaph
track.
Judge Martin has very keen eye, and
being practical horseman OF many years
experience, it takes a pretty slick article
III the way Of an owner to fool him. OF
late he has had several owners before the
bar to explain the sudden change Of form
that their horses show. and yesterday he
came down on another case good and hard.
HAS GONE FAR ENOUGH.
Steve LHommedeu and his two-year-
old, Dutch Girl, were the culprits, and
they VIII be lucky il they are not ruled off.
L'Hommedieu has been running the horses
in his stable on the ''iu-and-out" plan about
long enough and by the time Judge Martin
and the st. Asaph executive committee get
through with him he viii be scared into
racing a little more on the level than he
has done of late.
The last two or three times that Dutch
Girl has been out she has not run fast
enough to keep herself warm. Yesterday
she raced such a good horse as TOrello to
a standstiI before they had gone half 8
mile and won in a gallop. II she was not
pulled on the former occasions then she was
run so short of work that it amounted to the
same thing.
Jockey Murphy again threw away race
by his over-confidence and desire 10 make
grand-stand finish. 1t was in the last race,
and he was simply galloping in the stretch
ba, in fn baC
the field get up to him and draw fine fin
ish he threw the horse out OF his stride,
and when India Rubber challenged him
he could not get him together in time to
make a fight for the money.
VERY CARELESS RIDING.
II he had gone on about his business
instead of messing around with the horse
he could hardly have helped but win. Muir
ply is a good rider, but he is entirely too
careless, and is liable to get himself into
trouble any day.
The starting yesterday was something
horrible. Manolo and Petitioner in their
respective races getting off way out in
front. Starter Flynn has been terribly out
OF form of late. No matter how small the
fields he has to handle there is nearly al
ways long delay. He has a very good
excuse, however, in the poor lot OF stable
boys who are riding at the track. 1t is
safe to say that, taken altogether, poorer
lot of boys it would be hard to find on any
other track in the country.
QUIT ABOUT EVEN.
The seven bookies who went on did a
very good days business, and managed to
quit about even on the game.
The opening event went to Jim McLaugh
lin, who led all the way, and won easily.
The ight for the place wasa hot one between
Fonda and Hazel, the former coming fast
in the last few jumps, and getting the
verdict.
Dutch Girl was cut loose in the second
race, and won galloping.
After a short delay at the post Manola
got away the best of the send-off, and woI
| the third race in gallop from Flattery
and Caroven.
Belisarius was made an odds on favoritt
| in the next and won all the way from The
Snake, with Selah third.
After being ruled off since the opening
day, Frolicsome Lass was at last allowed
| TO start, and showed that she was in gooc
| trim by gaIloping away from good field
After Murphy had thrown the race away
on Gonzales, India Rubber came on anC
won all the money.
