The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1900-12-02

The recent instance OF a jockey putting on N
extra sweater and weighing in five pounds
over weight after winning the race will lead
to a change In the racing rules. As they stand
now. II n horse carries more than two rounds
over weight he Is disqualified unless the stew
ards are satisfied that such excess Of weight
has been caused by rain or mud. At tho next
regular meeting of the Jockey Club. I. X. Hitch
cock will move TO amend the rule by striking
out the words which disqualify the horse. and
adding:
lie shall not be dis luAllr.d, su, his Jockey Sian
be ilncd, suspended or ruled on.
