THE EsoPUs ENTRY ExoSERArED.
TO The Board Of SieDGrds Of the United
States Jockey Club.
Your racing committee has fully In
vestigate ted the charges made in connection
with the poor performance Of the Belmont
entry Esopus In the Presidential Trial
Stakes OF 1904. and begs leave to report as
follows;
-CHARoE No. THAT certain persons
supposed to have an interest In the SUCCESS
Of the entry did apply ginger.
We find that there was nothing In the
performance OF the Esopus through bred
TO warrant the charge that enough ginger
was administered TO have had any effect on
the running OF the moe.
CHARGE No. THAT certain persons
believed to have been In collision with the
hackers Of the entry Rough Rider, which
WAS the favorite. did place gold bricks
in the eaddlebe rs Of the Belmont entry.
I'VE find that gold bricks were placed In
the saddlebags Of the Belmont entry Esopus,
causing him 10 run badly when he reached
the Western sire tch.
CHARGE No. 3That dope was admins
tered to the Belmont entry at some time
prior to the start Of the race,
we find nothing in the running of the
thoroughbred Esopus to Justify this charge,
but do believe that while he was not dossd
with dope he may have been dazed with
hope.
CHARGE No THAT Jockey Sheehan
failed 70 carry out the instructions OF
Trainer Hill
we find 1t impossible 10 learn just what
the instructions Of Trainer Hill were. but
we are satifed that Jockey Sheehan rode a
bad race in failing 10 give ESopus his head
at the start instead OF holding him in until
the Rough Rider had gained a lead too great
to overcome.
CHARGE No. 5--That the Tammany
bookmakers, although understood to have
an interest in the Belmont entry, laid all
their money on Rough Rider
We find that the interest Of the Tammany
bookuakers in the Belmont entry was only
nornins.l.
we RECOMMEND:
THAT, as Esopus did the best he could,
