ARE THEY "DOPED 2"
1t Is Said That Horses Are
Crazed With Cocaine and Race
THE DEATH OF ALAETHRAOITE

A Rsce-G -Goer Says the Horse Was Simply
Frantic, and Gives as His Opinion That
the Horse Had Been Oocainsd-Are
There Things True at BarksdaIeg
"Grave charges are being quietly made
about the way the races are being con-
Quoted at Barksdals Nd, just over the
Delaware line from Newark, said well
known Wilmingtonian who attends the
races, to an EVENING JOURNAL reporter
this morning; 1t is an outrage to the
civ liz alton and morality and public
deceDcy to have races conducted as are
those races there.
II like horse race as well ss any one,
but want clean sport. It is a common
thing to hear statements from people
who should know that horses are
'doped," that Is, have cocaine injected
into them with hyprdermic syringe.
These statements have not TO my
knowledge been contrsdictsd by either
horse owners or officers OF the associs
tions
THE eject OF these injections Of
cocaine Is to make the horse act as
though he were spirited and to make him
60 at top speed.
THAT is all right, but all horses are
not alike and slI do not act the same
under an injection OF the same amount of
the drug.
Some OF the horses after receiving an
injection become absolutely crazy and
uncomfortable.
"In my opinion, and that of others who
know anything about horses, NEST of
these accidents caused on the track are
simply due to an overdose OF the drug,
which makes the horse frantic
1t Is sll rot to talk of race horse run
ming way. Running is his speciality
and he can't run any faster when
he is running away" than he can when
he is racing.
1T is my own opinion that the killing
Of the mErs Alanthracite and the break
ing of her riders leg was the
result of an injection of this drug The
horse was absolutely crszy and the hoy
had no more control over her thanif he
were driving q locomotive with reins.
'It took nearly half an hour to get a
start with her on the track and she then
WAS in no condition TO race.
"'rhe horse was actually blinded and
dashed into the fence which guards the
track, tearing the rider and saddle off
breaking the boys leg. The mare then
took another start b1t ran into the fence
twice more before finally colliding with a
post and killing herself.
mo sooner had she been killed than
her body was dragged sway and buried
preventing an examination by the track
officers IL they had desired to investigate. "
Similar statements are made By other
people who attend the races but whether
they ara correct the EVENING JOURNAL
| Is unable 70 ascertain.
