TALENT FELL UPON ROCKS
Jockey Pulled Marie Lowell and
Was Ruled Off.
JUDGE MARTINS EAGLE EYE

Horses Went to the Post, and
Warned the Trainer-Harry War

The boys riding at st. Asaph must be a
thick headed lot or they would know by
| this time that Mr.. T. Wood Martin, the
presiding judge of the track, is not to be
trifled with.
1t has TO be very slick pull that he does
not detect and the ones that happen to es-
cape him in the bunch are singled out by
the eagle eye OF Starter Flynn.
very poor article of jockey, named
Rocks, who rides the horses in the stable of
william Lowell, took it into his head that
he could hoodwink the Judge a nd deliberately
pulled the head nearly off Marie Lowell in
the third race.
This mare could have beaten Tribute.
who won the race by half the length of
the stretch, but Mr. z ocks was right there
with his instructions still ringing in his
ears, and he made it his business to see
that he did not win.
FOLLOWED HIS INSTRUCTIONS.
True, he had TO nearly pull Marie
Lovell's head Off right in front OF the
judges stand, but that did not seem to
trouble him, and he finished a very re-
spectacle second.
When he dismounted he was allowed
10 weigh out, and then told to make tracks
off the grounds Of the Virginia Jockey Club
Just as fast as he knew how. This decision
was later changed, and he was allowed
Ia ride Jack Lowell, who started in the
fifth race
While the Judge did the right thing in
giving Rocks the grand bounce they should
go even farther and give the trainer
dose of the same medicine. Judge Mar
tin had him up in the stand before the
race and warned him, but it did not
have much of an effect, as the mares
price continued to go up and evidently
the bookies had her dead pat for
''lobsteri'
BETS SHOULD BE OFF
The only thing tn be regretted is that
the Western rule, which declares ..all
bets OFF, in a case like that of yester-
days is not in force in this part of the
country. 1t is, of course, some salts
faction to the talent TO know that they
will be protected by the judge, but it
does not bring their money back when
they get ''yank' for it.
The talent went hard at work to pick
the mud horses when they saw in what con-
dition the track was. They were not very
successful. as the first event went to Duke
OF Gloucester, who was a 6 to 1 chance.
Pope ran into second place, with Stanley
NJ. third. E.
Lady Lister was selected to do the trick
in the second race, and rewarded the talents
confidence by going to the front in the
stretch and winning easily from Marguerite
II, with Tioga third.
COULD NOT HELP ETTT WIN
Tribute was the trick in the third race,
and as Marie Lowell was dead as a door
nail," he had no difficulty in winning, de-
spite the fact that he is not a good mud
horse.
on her race Tuesday Joyeuse looked 10
hold the next event safe, and when the |
betting closed was quoted at TO =. The
best she could do at the close was 10 finish !
second 10 Velvet r Ose, who won in a hard |
irive. Chink shut up very suddenly, after |
leading all the way, and was an indifferent |
hird
Harry Warren was at all kinds Of pro-
libitive prices in the fifth race, going to
he post at to 10. He looked a winner |
Until half way up the stretch, 5len Mos,
-issey got to him and at the end won
somewhat easily.
The closing race went to Cheddar. who
was a 6 10 o favorite He led all the
way and won easily from Jimmie james,
With Conda third
