In the last race Montana Peeress
was disqualified for fouling Dutiful
Fitzpatrick was called to the stand
and told the judges that the mare
fouled Dutiful twice and that he pulled
her head out several times and spoiled
whatever chances Dutiful had. To
conform with the racing rules the
Judges disqualified her. She would
have been awarded the race but for
the unfortunate accident, as she was
going fastest at the end.
Thirteen books cut in, including the
field and combination books-a falling
off of one since Monday.
Moriarity on Massacre pulled up his
mount when he was shut out. thinking
the mare was cut down.
McDaniels, when he rode FranEible,
could not do justice to his mount, as
the horse Is too heavy-headed for so
small a boy. When a stronger boy
rides this one will about win.
Lady Powell is worth watching, as
she will soon earn brackets.
Tyrolian, who was backed from Z
to to even money, just managed to
get UP in the last fifty feet and win by
a very small margin.
Throw out Ben Lears effort, as his
race was too bad to be true.
The result of the fourth race might
have been different had High Chancel-
lor, who bolted at the start, and sails,
who refused to break, gotten away with
the rest of the field.
Descuento has proven himself the
best three-year-old at the track by
picking up III pounds and cantering
FIVE and a half furlongs in track rec
ord time, 1907.
Tab Dad Anderson. This one is in
fine mettle now and will win soon. Is
a good future prospect.
Jack Joyner left New York last week
for a trip to California. He will come
direct to Los Angeles and will spend
several days between this city and San
Francisco and see racing at both AS
cot park and Oakland. Joyner will
combine business with pleasure on the
trip and will probably take back with
him a contract calling for the services
of Jockey Willie Davis next season.
Joyner will return by way of Mount
Clemens, Mich, and expects to be at
home by February 1.
Following the English method, races
will be run the reverse way of the
track at Belmont park, New York.
This has been cause for constant COM
ment among horsemen and followers
of the sport since the announcement
was made two years ago. The plan
does not meet with general approval.
There are those who argue, and with
some reason, that the change in the
way of running from the other tracks
will result in the complete upsetting of
public form, that some horses will run
green and that some jockeys will not
take kindly to the new style. There Is
no recourse, however, and in all prob
bility both horses and jockeys will
quickly adapt themselves to the
conditions, even though the
onlookers take longer to reconcile
themselves to the new plan and change
of vision.
There appears to be another version
to the case of Jockey Tod Sloan. who
was recently supposed to have re-
ceived a verdict of $40, 900 against the
French Jockey club. The London
sportsman, in commenting on the case,
says:
1.-The court of appeals has just given
is decision in this remarkable case
caused by the ruling off of Tod Sloan
from all premises under the immed-
ate control of the Societe d'Encour-
lgement (French Jockey club, owing
to the part he took in the preparation
Of Rose de Mai, the winner of the prix
de diane (or French Oaks), at Chan
tilly, in 1903.
"Sloan argued that as he was not
the holder of a license from the So
ciete Encouragement, he was not un-
der the jurisdiction of the stewards.
and could, therefore, only be considered |
a trespasser on their rights. He there
fore, sued the stewards of the Societe
d Encouragement and the publisher of |
the social calender for damages. The |
first court gave decision in his favor,
and the finding of the court of ap-
peals somewhat concurs. although the
damages claimed by Sloan have been
and limited to the payment |
by the Societe Encouragement of his |
taxed costs. The point of law raised |
as to the authority vested in the stew
ards of the Societe Encouragement |
has been satisfactorily answered. The
court of appeals has upheld the author
ity of the stewards and confirmed their
rights of warning off from all inclos-
ures and premises, their own private
property, any person under their con-
troll"
