AL we're heavily backed. lie won on Savarin In
the Autumn Stakes. Against Savarin long odds
were laid and the success OF Savarn defeated q
strong favori,e in Ssmak. and a strong second
choice in The Friar. Does IL ever occur 70 the wise
men in the stewards stand that Senega mbian jock
eys often show delightful facility in losing races
on horses that are favortes that. at least, are
well backed and in winning races on horses
against which Ions prices laid?
Martins ride on Ross O., the favorite In the first
race weak and feeble. and so peculiar. that
b. should have been put through rigorous exami-
n.nM Martin wears enormous diamonds, or he
did wear them not long ago. 1t is proper TO ask
where he got them. IL is proper TO ask in the
case Of Richard Croker. who was the ruler of
Nw-York for a time, Where did he get his
Wealth.
1t is reported that Martin backed Ross o. him
self II he did he rode Ross O. in strange style to
VI his money. IT should never be forgotten by
any one who engages Martin to ride. or who
watches Martin ride. that he has been ruled OF
The turf twice. and that he ought never TO have
been taken back. 1t is unnecessary TO add that
Martin was never ruled off by the present Board
Gstewards al Sheepshead Bay. Gould any jockey
% earth possibly ride such q race that the present
admirable Board OF kind hearted and sympathetic
Stewards would rule him off the turf? 1t does not
sscn possible.
Martin rode Captive queerly In recent race al 'hlS
melting Probably the stewards have forgotten all
about tina, race Yesterday Captive defeated the
gr.ai Reauita IN a romp. Captive led all the way
ni ReQutsl never caught him. Requ.isl Is great
ct- but Clayton rode him peculiarly, and seemingly
Il somewhat different style from that in which ne
rode him in the Realization Stakes and in the race N
which he yaaqulshed Buck Massle In 50 mastery
fashion few days ago. II may be remarked mat
Snesambian iocke do not always ride In the same
style. Senegamoian trainers. with few praise"orthy
ereepions and senegambian Jockeys with fe"
pasexorhy exceptions have been a grievous affiic-
tos and injury 10 the American turf. Many Sene-
