months this is very evident.
For the sake of illustration we give the
following reasons:
On the 22nd Of December Jockey John
son was ruled off for the pulling Of Pleas.
ant Smiles, and in just seventeen days
he is reinstated.
But still Jockey Morris and Afford
must remain on the ground for twenty.
one days and be deprived Of making
their living.
Their offensc was disobedience at the
post.
Next we have Jockey Brophy, who is
suspended for week for his Indifferent
ride on Privateer, but still he is allowed
to ride for his employer.
But still Jockey Morris and Afford
must remain on the ground for twenty
one days and be deprived of making
their living for disobedience at the post.
Then we have Jockey Narvaez, who
on the twenty-ninth of December, delib-
crate v pulled Conspirator when he was
a hot favorite. He was suspended for
two days.
But still Jockey Morris and Afford
must remain on the ground and be de-
privedof their living for disobctlience at
the post.
Now, according to the rulings OF the
officials, dsobcdience at the post is a
more serious offence than all Indifferent
ride or pulling a tavorite up during a
race because he is afraid, and in fact
pulling a horse as johnson did; at least
the judge ruled him off, and that means
he must have been guilty.
Next we have the reversal of form dis
played by Hurry, who is considered a
very fair three-year-old, especially in the
hcavy.going. Well, he started in race
on Wednesday which was five furlongs,
and the track was very heavy. He was
quoted in the betting at 2 to /, but it
didn't take long for his price to go up to
5, 2 and |, without any money showing.
He was ridden by J. Dorsey, who in that
race took a sudden fancy to the outside
rail and hugged it during the race. He
also kept his head down and didn't ap-
pear to care where he finished. Well,
just to show what a nerve that jockey
has, he started him again on Saturday
for the same distance. The track was in
the same condition, but the betting was
different. lie opened at to |, and was
backed down to 4 and rs when they
went to the post. As it happened
Bardetta, who won the race on We'd
nesday, and beat Hurry at least ten
lengths, was entered in this race Satur-
day; but did }. Dorsey hold his head
down in that race and take to the outside
fence? Oh no not he it must have
dawncd upon him that the
nearest way around was the inside, and
he kept it all the way down the back
stretch and on the turns. What was the
result Why lie beat Bardctta Just about
as far as she beat him on Wednesday,
but nothing was said about that race. 1t
was too plain As a rule the real plain
cases are allowed to pass, but where
there is doubt action is taken.
