n A race That the bookmakers fear the
Drake horses, especially when they are
dropped into selling races. is shown by the
mail prices quoted against them, When
To was offered against Ed Ball Il didn't
take the LAYERS a minute to rub the price to
odds on As the wagers made their appear

meut big bets we're offered they were either
refused or taken at 4 to s and even 7 to 10.
Either Carroll Reid, trainer OF the Waldeck
Stable, has been overestlmating The Picket,
or he has been trying to fool somebody. For
many weeks the reports were sent out OF
Kentucky that The Picket was himself again
and could not lose the Brooklyn Handicap.
As a result the Falsetto horse was heavily
backed in Kid Weller's future book. In view
Of all this II was but natural that there should
be a strong desire to bet on The Picket when
he went to the post in the handicap at a mile
and a sixteenth. 70 the clubhouse Jesse
Lewissohn was the heaviest supporter Of The
Picket, and the play on him soon extended to
all parts of the track. But when II came to
racing. the wise men, one and all, felt con-
WINGED that Carroll Reid had handed them a
lemon. as The Picket was disgfacefully beaten
by ordinary selling platers. Pretension was
in receipt of eleven pounds from Go Between.

Bennington has decided to quit the turf alto

remaining horses at auction n week from
