NEW ORLEANS, La, Feb g.-IndIca-
lions are that Papa" R.-sfern win
leave here with his son, Aesnur, in dis.
favor. Redfern was nned tioO by the
stewards for having made statements
that Pyrrho did not run his race when,
his son rode him. and he was beaten.
Redfern has not paid this fine, and be-
sides he has gone on record that he
will not pay 1t.
Under the rules of the Western Jockey
hub that means a suspension from all
track privileges so that Redfern Is in a
good way to return to New York with
an unpleasant track ruling hanging over
him. He states that the action of the
stewards here does not bother him in
the least as he does not expect that
his son will ride in the West the COM
ing season.
Possibly he would have paid the fine,
but he dlsliked the idea of being barred
out of the paddock. That. in fact, was
mis- chief reason for stating that he
would not remain for the balance OF the
meeting. Il
