F1tzkanet. the crack 5-year-oId brown
horse by Fitzjames-S ekanct. was cut down
and probably ruined for racing purposes in
the fourth race.at Delmar YESTERDAY.
The horse was favorite in the handicap.
He displayed superior speed. HIS rider. d.
Hall. had Instructions to rate him back
behind the Dacemakers. Fitzkanet was TOO
fast for his field. He outran It easily. Hall
was obliged to take him back sharply
around the three-furlong pole. Fitzllanet
was so full of run that the restraint made
him zigzag across the track.
Crcix dor. who was behind him. jumped
on the tendon of his near hind leg. The
sharp plate cut the tendon across as II it
had been severed with n knife.
The grand little horse ut once gave way.
He fell back to last place. but hobbled a
furlong before Hall could pull him up. Hail
dismounted at the stretch entry. Fftzkanet
kicked and it seemed that he would actu-
!, ally throw the severed foot away. 1t hung
loose and limp. When the horse attempted
to stand on it. the stump of his fetloch
touched tho ground. He was led off the
track.
