For the frst time this season Jockey Walter
Miller was disciplined yesterday at Brighton
for foul riding on W. H. Schaut's Gold Coin. In
the fifth race. The horse was not only dis
qualified but Miller was fined 900 by the
Stewards and set down for two days. Miller
was punished at Los Angeles last winter for
similar tactics. but since the local season
1pened he has been immune. At Belmont
Park last May Miller was simply reprlmanded
BY the stewards for a fragrant bit OF rough
riding, but that was all. Since then the boy
has INDUCED In foul tactics on many oc-
~casions, but he has got away with 1t In such
away that other Jockeys have felt that II was
q, waste OF time to make q protest oil, foul
against him.
When Voladay, Shaw UT, hooked up with
Gold Coin in the homestretch they were 80
close together. that the riders could have EN-
braced each other Miller kept boring out
with Gold Coin and at the last sixteenth pole

bump, (which kBoeked' the latter out OF his
stride. Then Miller urged his horse on and

and August Belmont saw the race with Mr..
Fitzgerald.

as Shaw clambered up the steps.
u didn't think 1t was worth VIII 'e, replied
Shaw. reluctantly.
Didn't Miller foul you at the sixteenth
pole2- was the next question.
why, OF course he did. replied the vet
eran jockey. He fouled me all through the
stretch"
Shaw was excused and Miller was quickly
sent for.
Did you foul shaw" he was asked.
Il didn't touoh him at all. sir, was Miler's
surprising reply.
1T was a foul. said the stewards, and you
are fined 800 and oannot ride again until
next Wednesday. This rough riding by you
must stop" \
Meanwhile a big crowd had gathered
around the stewards stand. waiting an1iously
for the verdict. Owner Schaut and other
Westerners were in the throng. visibly wor-
yied, for they stood to win a small fortune
n Gold Coins victory was allowed TO stand.
But when the numbers were taken down and
voladay was posted as the winner a tumultous
shout went up from the hundreds who had
played him because OF his well known liking
for the mud. The fckleness OF racegoers
was well illustrated here when many jeered
Miller as he walked to the paddock. at the
same time crying out:
You didn't get away with that. kid. did
your"
But when Miller won the next race with
Kings Daughter he was wildly cheered. Mil
Ter has been taken down a peg or two at this
meeting. by the way. He has not had any the
best OF the breaks at the post. and has been
severely criticised for poor rides on Logistilla
and Pantoufe, With a fine and suspension

causing adverse comments all che season.
the chances are that Miller will begin to real
