Evening star., 1901-11-13
Carried Five Pounds Over Weight
and the Jockey Suspended.
S RTS IN GEN AL

Inc rain tnat DeSdu Idillng the morn
ing continued until about o'clock and hurt
the attendance considerably. 1t is quite a
long trip to the track. and with the rain
and mist making the atmosphere almost
thick enough to curt the Washington ladies
held back In dismay. and as a result the
attendance of the fair ones was small.
Just before the fifth race the sun came out
in dazzling brightness, and the talent
took it as a good omen, but old Sol was
smiling on the ''bookies' yesterday, and as
result the last two races favored the lat
ter, as did the first four. The downpour
did not hurt the track, but, on the con-
trary. improved it, and as a result all the
contests were pulled Off in good time, Ben
Battle lowering the track record for mile
and forty yards.
Starter Cassidy had a good day, getting
all the fields away in good form, and the
betters had not the consolation to fall back
on that their horses had not been treated
well at the post
Jockey Martin Suspended.
Jockey Martin was the first rider to come
under the ban of the judges yesterday, and
he was suspended for the rest of the week
for carrying five pounds overweight on
O'Hagen. 1t is optional with the judges
whether the jockey is suspended or the
owners and trainers fined. and in this case
1t Is claimed that the trainer should have
been penalized. The Evening Star reporter
was at the scales when Martin was
weighed in. and instead of having capa-
BILE attendant to look after his racing
gear a green stable boy handled the leads.
The attendant at the scales warned the
lad to be careful about the weights, but a
mistake was made, and it was only a case
of good luck that O'Hagen carried five
pounds over instead Of under weight. There
was a cart load of money bet on the Ro-
gan entry. and had he been disqualified the
howl that would have gone up would have
shaken the steel beams Of the new grand
stand. q = ~
The very first race put a crimp in the
bank rolls of the talent. Aratoma, whose
price ruled at 20 to I, got into good posi-
ton right after the break. and as old Sam
Doggett handled his mount in expert style.
he managed to nose out Corder. also well
ridden by Phelan. Aratoma felt so good
after the race that she continued on for
six furlongs. and Jockey Doggett worked
with hearty good will trying to pull her
up. Kimberly. with H. Cochran up, was
the most fanced in this race. but he was
never within speaking distance Of the lead

Lux Casta was tipped to have the second
race won before Starter Cassidy sent the
horses away. but good generalship on the
part of H. Cochran, who rode Barrouche,
forced the favorite into second place. Ten
agra took the lead at the start and held 1t
for half mile, when Burns showed Lux
Casta to the. front. BarrOuche was close
up all the time. and as the flyers turned
into tn6 Stretcn ne went into second place.
Coming down the stretch the race narrowed
to a battle between Burns and Cochran,
and the latter finished first by half
length.
The betting public selected Alard to win
the third race. and the second choice fell
to Carl Kahler. but once more the book
makers kept all the money. as only IA
vored few put their money on Ben Battle,
the horse that had the speed all the way
and was never in trouble. winning with
daylight between him and the favorite.
Alard closed strong. but seemed anchored
when once he caught the leader, and could
not Dull ahead.
All the Money on the Four Hundred.
With H. Cochran upon The Four Hun
dred all the money went up on this horse
in the fourth race, and he was made the
favorite. In recent race at Aqueduct The
Four Hundred came within an eyelash Of
being the central iguresin a grand coup.
and the knowledge Of this fact doubtless
placed him first in the betting. But the
talent was all at sea, as O'Hagen was
pounds the better horse, and won almost as
he pleased. Martin, who rode O'Hagen.
permitted Playlike to take the lead and
hold 1t until the stretch was reached. when
he romped to the 'front.' and was never
headed thereafter.
Flaccus caught the fancy Of the betters
in the fifth race, but Wunderlich outfooted
him in the stretch and won In splendid
fashion. The fact that Tommy Burns was
on the back of Flaccus had considerable to
do with the betting. as all the entries were
poor lot and without reputation.
The biggest throw down Of the day given
the talent came in the sixth race, when
Animosity was picked as the best Of the
five entries. The money was simply dump
ed into the hands OF the bookmakers. the
Baltimore contingent being especially
prominent In the betting, and as result
the figures receded to 8 to 5. but finally
closed at to 5. Annie Thompson was also
liked and considerable money went in on
her. but the best she could do was third,
while Animosity finished absolutely last
New York, but the little fellow wants to
wake up, as his work on Animosity looked
very amateurfsh. Fatalist. well ridden by
Booker. proved the winner. while Guess
work secured the place.
