Unsatisfactory Reversal Of Form
in the Suburban Winner
Lost Twice Since the Brooklyn In
Mediocre Company.
&. !. J. G. Stewards 1nvestigation
Will he Pushed Vigorously.

Many days will have to elapse before
racegoers cease commenting on the
twelfth Suburban. The race was the
most unsa satisfactory ever run, and the
defeat OF the hot favorite, Domino. Is
overshadowed by the general feeling
that sharp practice was INDUCED In with
LaZZarone.
The stewards OF the Coney Island
Jockey Club started an Investigation into
Lazzarone's races directly after the Sub
urban was run. 1t Ia to be hoped that
they will probe into the matter IN most
incisive fashion They must investigate
thoroughly. for the public demands 1t.
The stewards should not be Influenced by
the fact that the owners OF the horse
are rich men, and II sharp practice has
been INDUCED In no tears will be shed II

1t will be difficult to find any one who
loes not believe that LaZzarone has
been "monkeyed" with since his ex-
cellent race in the Brooklyn Handicap.
Throughout the Spring, it is now alleged.
there has been an effort on the part OF
the owners and the trainer of the horse
to deceive the public In regard to the
condition of Lazzarone. 1t Is granted
that an owner may suppress and conceal
his horses form in legitimate fashion,
for he certainly has a right to that ex-
elusive knowledge.
If. however. an attempt Is made to de-
ceive the public by false reports and
trickery, then the public has a right to
demand protection from such methods.
Lazzarones four races this Spring
look very badly. when II Is considered
that. as a three-year- old this colt was
mosr consistent. Lazzarone's first race
in the Brooklyn Handicap was an ex-
cellent performance, he running second
to Hornpipe. who won after a r hard
drive through the stretch. Isaac Mur-
ply rode Iazzarone.
The next time the horse appeared II
was on June 4, nearly three weeks after
the Handicap was run. He was a hot
favorite, blt he ran as though he had
not been gwen a gallop FOR month.
