during the earlier portion Of the programme
but by the time the last race was caiieo u

There was excitement in plenty, ana the
incidents arising during the afternoon MADE
the sport more than usually Interesting
Only one favorite was successful, and that
.avo-ite was the choice OF a maiden Z-year-
old bunch in the last race
Jockey Crowhurst carried of the riding

of these races the odds against his mounts

lieved that McGinn could have kept LiDbie
straight and given Tom Cromwell chance
TO get through, so without much hesitation
they declared I.ibbie disqualified and sus-
pended Jockey McGirn for ten days
