ST. PETERSBURG, August q. 1903.
John oliver Keene of Lexington, KY,
trainer for the racing stable of M. l.
Lazarev, who has been suspended for
year. dating from August 20. for alleged
use of some unknown drug. has won sew
enty- nine races with his stable and over
500 900 during the last four or five months.
Keene and his friends say that is the only
reason for the ruling against him.
Keene was trainer last year for Henry
de Bloch, the millionaire OF Warsaw, and
won $54 600 with a single horse, named Sir
dar He has already exceeded this,
though the season is not yet over, with NJ.
Lazarev's Irish Lad. horse which has
won $56,5OO and now holds all the three
year-old records for Russia.
Sensation in Sporting Circles.
The success of the stables handled by
Keene has been the sensation of Russian
sporting circles for year or more, and he
has been accused of running horse racing
in this country, since everybody bet on his
entries.
When the present season opened Keene
selected Irish Lad, three-year-old sired
by Baltimore an English horse procured
at a great expense by the imperial stud.
for the great racing events. and Irish Lad
won the Moscow and the Warsaw derbyS,
besides other valuable prizes.
Keenes success was attributed by the
leading sporting journal of st. Petersburg
to wise training and good riding.
Unwilling to Acknowledge.
The rival stables, however, were unwill
ing to acknowledge that Keene had won by
superior training alone, and had for months
been trying to prove a Of doping
against him and eventually procured
Keenes suspension for year.
detective one day watched the Lazarev
horses for eight hours at Warsaw. On the
day referred to they won four out of five
races in which they were entered, and the
fifth race was only lost by a head.
At Moscow an order was issued requiring
all entries to stand in the paddock four
hours before every race. The Lazarev
horses, Notwithstanding this, still won. and
the order was eventually abandoned, be-
cause all the owners protested against 1t
being cruelty to animals.
Foam From Horses Mouths.
When the ST. Petersburg season opened
the technical committee of the racing club
began collecting foam from the Lazarev
horses mouths at the end Of every race.
They gathered it on cotton and put 1t in
bottles. 1t was afterward examined by
chemist named Perl, who claimed to find
traces in 1t of some form of morphine.
Keene was then summoned before the board
of stewards, and he swore that he had en-
ployed no chemicals.
Two stable boys claimed they had seen
Keene give some medicine to one or two
horses. and M. de Bloch wrote a letter.
stating that he had discharged Keene for
doping. Keene did not deny that he had
doctored the horses when they were sick.
and demanded that he be confronted with
M. de Bloch, but the board Of stewards de-
