markable in the light of track condf-

The other races were equally inter

run around the far turn, kept her from

Gossip Of the Track

Richard Dwyer Jr., who has off1ci-
ated at the barrier since the openin g
of the Emeryville meeting with the
utmost satisfaction to everybody in
any way connected with the runnin 6
of the races. will take his departure
today for Los Angeles. where he is to
do the starting for the next five weeks.
The racing public Is exceedingly sorry
to lose Dwyer for even that length of
time, and will be ready to receive him
with open arms at the expiration of
the period during which he is to ex-
change places with J. J. Hoffman.
Dwyer's work at the barrier since the
opening of the meeting has been moth
ing short of phenomenal perusal
of the form chart shows that out of
the 222 races that have been run. there
have been only three or four poor
starts. Dwyer has left practically
nothing at the post, in spite of the
uniformly large and frequently frac-
tious fields that he has been called
upon to handle. He has certainly lived
up to his reputation of being America S
premier starter. and carries with him
to his new field of labor the well wishes
racing official has ever enjoyed. Holt
man will be on hand to do the starting
at Emeryville on Monday.
Lycurgus, the boy on Barker, the
longest shot of the fifth race, lost con-
troll of his mount while the field was
maneuvering at the post and the horse
ran away two miles before his rider
could stop him. Lycurgus showed good
judgment by riding the horse out in
stead Of trying to pull him up when
he found that the animal was deter
mined to run, once he got started. SO
he probably ran a shorter distance be-
fore he tired than he otherwise might
have The horse bled after pulling up
and of course did not attempt to cover
the course with his field, although
Starter Dwyer stationed him with the
others at the start in order to comply
with tenchicalities.
The selling race war was not waged
