GOOD RACING IN
MUD AT NEW ORLEANS

NEW ORLEANS, December Cot was a
happy inspiration that caused Fred Burlew
to withdraw Judge Post in the Planters
stake yesterday and substitute Sir Tod
dington. The change proved most profit
able. for the big son Of Toddington led his
field from start to finish and won by a
half length from Allowmaise.
It was the second win for Sir Toddington
OF the meeting. He came right back for
Burley & O'Neil after his winning effort
Of Tuesday. His victory of Tuesday seemed
to give him heart yesterday afternoon and
for the first time In his racing career he
showed some of the speed that he has fire.
Quently displayed in private. He was
coupled in the betting with his stable
mate, Royal Breeze, at Ii to 10 and went
to the post faverite.
Sir Toddington was lucky to win and
still more fortunate that he was not dis
qualified by the stewards To many race
goers standing in good position to see
the turn for home it seemed as If he had
fouled A1lowmaise. Jack Martin, rider
of the latter, protested the payment of first
money to Sir Toddington, but after the
officials had Intercepted Nicol, the rider OF
the latter, they refused to disturb the order
of the finish.
The alleged foul took place soon after
the horses were Strengthened out for the
from the start, swung into the stretch in
front by a length, with Allowmaise closing
fast next the rail. Sir Toddington. racing
in the middle of the track. swerved over
to the rail and seemingly cut Allowmaise
off.
Jockey Had to Pull Up.
Martin was forced to pull his flly up and
take her to the outside. She closed reso-
lutely under the whip, and Nicol was forced
to ride Sir Toddington out hard.
1t was another miserable day for racing.
Rain fell without intermission and the
track was veritable quagmire. How the
seven horses that made up the field for the
steeplechase managed to keep their feet was
a mystery to ALL 1t was simply good luck.
The horses stumbled repeatedly. AT the
end, Naran, well ridden by Morrison, won
by a neck. Profitable was second. Arnbo
sulked during the early stages Of the race,
but finished strong and got third money
Missouri Lad added another purse to MS
long string here by beating Gentian neck
for the second event. He was well backed
by Fred Cook and Charley Celia, the big
turf operators. He had to be much the best
horse in order to win, as he was cut Off
soon after the start and managed to get
up in time to win on the post.
