Heavily Other Big Ring Operations.
The stewards of the Sheepshead Bay meet
Ing called Jockey Frank O'Neill before them
yesterday and severely reprimanded him
for what seemed deliberate attempt to carry
Agile wide with Beldame as they turned into
the stretch in the Advance Stakes OH Sa turday.
O'Neiil attempted TO explain his action by
saying that Martin who rode Agile. was to
blame, as he attempted to crowd Beldame
over into the soft going The stewards did
not find fault with O'Neill's general handling
Of Beldamc. but simply called his attention
to the fact that rough riding is not wanted.
II Beldame had won the race instead OF being
beaten by a head II would probably have
been the duty OF the stewards to disaualify
August Belmont s mare. As il was there was
nothing left II do but censure O'Neill. and
that the boy deserved calldown there seems
no room for doubt. But O'Neill was not the
only Jockey to feel the discipline of the track
officials. Starter Cassidy completely lost his
patience with Willie Knapp who rode Whim-
steal in the third race. Knapp WAS so eager
to beat the barrier that he paid no attention
To the starters repeated warnings until Cas-
sdy fmally notified him that he could not
ride again for week.
