RACE TRACK GOSSIP.
Ascot Bellies Victory Surprised Trainer
Tucker

BOD fucker. trainer Of s. S. Brown g
horses, could not believe his eyes when he
saw Ascot Belle win the last race yester-
DAY at Jamaica. Tucker is a heavy better
ana mad $o,OOO wager on Auditor, the win
ner OF the Huntington stakes, but he could
not see how Ascot Belle had a chance.
Tommy Burns could not ride Ascot Belle
because he learned during the afternoon
that his mother-in-law, Mrs James Nc
Laughin, had died suddenly. So Jack Mar
tin was engaged to ride instead Ascot
Belle. on form. looked to have royal
chance to win. but as Tucker and the wise
men who generally followvhs lead did not
send their commissions into the ring, the
layers concluded thats something allied the
hly. Accordingly they boosted the odds
until they had reached 10 to 1, the crowd
In general keeping off. whereas under other
circumstances the filly would have been
heavily played. When she finished in front
fuckers face was study while many
players who had originally selected her to
win, but stayed off, kicked themselves in
wardly. All of which goes to prove the Oft
repeated assertion that trainers in many
cases do not know their own nurses.

that figure.
AS an instance of the tightness of money
among the books at Jamaica, four of the
best known layers refused 800 wagers on
several occasions during the afternoon.
John Nixon did not arrive at the Jamaica
track in time to correct an error In the en-
try of Charles Elwood who should have
run in the name of the Kirkwood stable, so
the colt was scratched. But War Whoop' s
entry was changed in time, so that he
started in the third race. War Whoop and
Wire In, full brothers, were bred by Henry
Giddings, an old Canadian trotting horse
man. and they were sold by him to the NC
