and more new faces and amateur bettors
who are not wise on prices"
| Nose Goldblatt has Jessie Jarboe looking
very well. The fast mare never was SC
! good in her life and she has run go races
at that.
AS was predicted in this column. the jock
| eys who have been riding under Starter
Dade are having trouble with Messrs
Dwyer and Hoffman Mr., Dade has always
been too hardworking, painstaking and con-
siderate. He has always been helping boys
away, waiting for them, coddling them, ca
actors and doing everything in the world TO
get perfect starts. The result of this has
been excellent, In fact. wonderful starting,
but exasperating delays.
Messrs. Hoffman and Dwyer on the other
hand, do not consider anything but a good
start. When they get the field lined up and
boy or that may or may not do. If the boy
is too smart and refuses to accept the
break. or is incompetent and cannot ride
enough to accept 1t. they care not. OF they
send them.
Each style of starting has its adherents
and admirers. Considering the jockeys he
has had to deal with. and the horses. Mr..
Dade's work has been truly marvellous. He
has been starting the worst lot of boys that
ever rode horses.
The jockeys at Kinloch far surpass those
who have been riding under Mr.. Dade.
Then Messrs. Dwyer and Hoffman have
better horses to start. Mr.. Dade is obliged
to start horses in handicaps that would not
be allowed to go to the barrier in Chicago,
because Of their bad acting. Dwyer and
Hoffman would not start horses like Found,
Miss Aubrey, Tom Collins or Sam LaZa-
rus. Esq, and others of that kind. The Chica-
goans are first-class starters. Their work
at Kinloch has been eminently satisfactory,
except for the man who wants run for his
money.
pete in the amateur races next week want
to have the horses entered and draw lots
F tb man net hs d9s may Ga
be able to make the weight Then, an
owner might enter good horse if he knew
h he 6s E rider fS gff for h
rider on him. as he might by lot, he would
not enter him. A good rider at $50 or 160
pounds Will not hurt a horse, but bad
one at that weight would ruin him in one
race.
Another fault to the proposed gentlemen's
longs. In New York, Nashville. New Or
leans and every place where such events are
run they are at mile.
A gentlemen's race is a spectacle AMI
the spectators want to get good look at
the riders managing their horses prior to
what the crowd wants to see. If the riders
are hidden away at the six-furlong pole,
the affair might as well be run at night.
VIII Finer bet $500 on Founding to win
the third race on Monday. He was much
shs n oack so@d %hea ef6 she was left the post
Fizer horses to be left at St. Louis this
season.
When Mr.. Bratton had Larry Daly riding
his horses he was tickled to death. He
thought Larry was the best jockey in the
world; AT times the boy would put up a
ride that would help to justify that glorious
but fallacious belief Oftener Larry was
there with the bad ride But Mr.. Bratton
was ever betting on Larry and his horses
and telling his friends to do the same
thing. He and his friends lost money
When DAILY was riding Crime and Fed
eralist they were . to l shots. He lost on
them. When Scully rode them in the same
company they We're II to ! shots and won in
walk. Mr.. Bratton bets literally on his
horses But he bet on Maghoni to beat
Crime on Monday. He only bet 800 on Fed
eralist yesterday. He would have bet $500
had the horses last race been good
NOW Mr.. Bratton's friends are sore at
him Tor the money they lost betting on his
horses when L. Daily rode them for the
Scully rode them. They forget that Mr.
Bratton himself is the biggest loser He
always insisted that L. DAILY was the best
boy IN the world and would not ride any
one else until his trainer. Mr.. F1ippen. told
him that If he rode young Daily he would
not uain the horses any more.
II see The Republic says this mare will
quit, said Jim Dockery. owner OF Sinfi,
to the writer as he saddled the faint
hearted daughter OF Loyalist for the last
'.she belongs to trades union replied
the, writer, "and Tom Collins will be the
walking delegate in this case. He will
make her lie down in half mile. She
Will quit quicker than hired girl"
see you after the race, said Mr..
Dockery. and make you take that back.
