POOR RACING At S|NC[RLY
Cunningham, Dorsey and Neel
Sat Down for the Meeting.
LONG SHOTS RULE THE DAY.
Bet wecn the Bad Weather and Dead
Ones the Talent and Public
Experience Tough
Day.

v
: Day.
The feature of yesterdays races was
the poor showing made by many of the
l choices and horses who were considered
to be important factors, but to the dis
appointment of all they ran unplaced.
J In one or two cases it was due to some
mishap during the race or on account of
J getting poor start. The latter excuse
will apply only to too Much johnson
and Nordan, who were beaten at the
start, but where this excuses these two
there are many more, and in fact enough
to put in two figures, who were beaten
through the mere fact that the right
money was not down on them, but in
one or two races it was no doubt all on
something else.
Now it may be that some of the
jockeys could not do Justice to their
mounts on account of the cold and
penetrating weather, as we all know
getting cold mud splattered in ones face
when he is going at the rate Of a mile in
POO minutes is not very pleasant, SO on
this account one may over look some Of
the reversals of form.
Taking it all in all yesterday was one
of the worst days the outlaws have ever
had for racing.
The talent was clearly knocked out and
it will be very surprising if they should
come to for few days. Some may
think blow from Fitzsimmons would
hurt, but it wouldn't count compared
with the one the book-makers landed on
the talent. 1t is called the (mantle) and
caused many to fall by the wayside.
Even those that could stand on their feet
were very much bewildered and lost
their reason. This was noticed as
number of the talent were asking each
other, "Where he came from?' "Who
rode him?" II didn't notice his name on
the board" "Was it the Maintain, or
am III tranCe!
Jockeys Cunningham and j. Dorsey
were the lucky boys to receive the $50
prize from the bookmakers, or in other
words the bookmakers We're the lucky
ones to receive the thousand thanks to
Cunningham and Dorsey, they should
be more thankful
