After nearly A week Of Inquiry, the
stewards. who acted at the late Brook
lyn Jockey Club meeting at Gravesend
yesterday concluded their Investigation
into the bad race run by A. L. Aste
horse Hippocrates in the mud at Grave
send, ard referred the case 10 the
stewards of the Jockey club. None OF
the stewards would say what they had
learned. or what recommendations had
been made to the jockey club. The only
facts made public so far are that Aste
started the horse in mud, though il was
the belief of the stable that he could
not run anywhere near the best form in
such going.
