There seems to be no end of hard luck
in store for Jockey John Bullman. First
he swung a righthander that made
railway connections with the jaw of
Monk" Coburn, earning a months sus-
pension, then was left at the post in the
Christmas handicap on Greyfeld, and
at Tanforan on last Thursday, astride
the crack colt Golden Age in the 2-year-
old event, John again had the ms1or-
tune to be left behind. 1t might have
been different and Bulman would per-
haps have missed the shower of Kisses
he received but for the fact that Sam
Hildreth's entry enjoyed the pleasure of
being a to favorite. Starter Dick
he no ar
rier Golden Age wheeled. which lifts all
blame from the riders shoulders.
From all appearance little Jack Mar
tin has done gone and flown de COOP
In other words the feather weight
rider, dissatisfied with longer staying
in the employ of CarrutherS & Shields
has run away He was treated very
nicely by the firm, and no reason can
be ascribed for his sudden flight. Alex
Shields thought he might be in Oakland,
but horseman has expressed the opin-
! ion that a telegram sent to Toronto
would catch Jack. Still the little fellow
was very fond Of hunting and may have
gone in quest of some birds.
According to an Associated Press dis
patch, racing will be resumed at the st.
Louis fair grounds on May II, to con-
tinue for so days, the limit fixed by the
Missouri breeders law for any single
track. Although the turf congress per-
mits the ST. Louis course to open on
April /, the state law does not. 1t fixes
the opening of the season on April is,
and the close on November /. Between
April Is and May To- when the fair
| grounds open it is considered likely
that Knloch park will have season
of % days. If the Tilles-Adler- Celia
syndicate track is completed by the end
| of the fair grounds season and the Kin
| loch people seek to resume at that time,
fight tetWee1 it and the syndicate
would undoubtedly result.
Sam Loates, the English jockey, who
was Reiff's closest competitor last sea-
| son, has started with his wife for New
York. He is going to California for the
/ winter and may be induced to ride.
! When "Skeets' Martin returned to Cal
! lfornia one year ago, after a season s
| work in the saddle on the English turf
| the California rider spoke very highly
of Loates. Said Martin: 1T did not
take Sammy long to see the Advantage
gained in a crouching position and a
shorter stirrup. He is a smart little
chap, caught on quickly and can finish
With the best of EN-
The scarcity of good horses is becom-
| ing more apparent every day. The We'll
! known turf writer, Allen Lowe, has this
to say on the subject in the Boston Jour-
nal! while over in New York las:
week, | met one of the prominent horse
men of Boston. He was making an I'M
| successful search for high-class horses.
He said he could not find pair to buy.
and even poor ones We're not plenty.
Frank w. Ware told me that he had
| just bought pair of coach horses for
an English gentleman, and had the
order for them over a year. When they
are buying and S-year-ods over in
New York and holding them couple of
years, they are short of horses"
