The Washington herald., 1907-02-19

New Orleans. Feb 1S.-To-day's racing
was under suspicious conditions. The
weather was fine and a fair card Of seven
races furnished exciting sport.
A smaH-siZed sensation occurred in the
betting ring when Alpine Fontelieu, the
Louisiana bookmaker. was denied per
mission to book. Fontelleu was not told
why he was not allowed to book but
stories are current that it is in connec-
ton with The Englishman's race last
meeting, when he was beaten of, and
Jockey Lloyd. who has been since rein
stated, suspended.
The main feature Of the day was the
victory of Beau Brummel, 4-to-5 favorite
who won the mile and seventy yards
purse ;s6air from Lady Navarro, although
the later was easily the better of the
pair. The track record-I:lS 2-5-was
equaled
Yves had an easy time Of it in the seven
furlong purse event, and, with to 20
against his chances, went TO the front
at the rise of the barrier and was never
threatened afterward.
Favorite players had an uneasy moment
in the fve-and-One-half furlong affair, in
which MeadOwbreeZc went TO the post d
7-to-20 choice. Meadowbreeze had the race
of his life 10 get home a neck in front OF
Minot, a 20-to-l chance, that might have
won under a stronger finish. Colloquy, a
2-t0-9 fayorite. in a six-furlong dash,
won from start to finish. Gossoon, a 9-to-2
chance in the betting won the opening
event, while Gresham was the choice.
20 -aT- "a tom tod
with Auditor in the six-furlong selling
event. but he was beaten by a neck by
Posing. a 10-to-1 chance.
Foreigner proved best in the closing
event, with il TO I against his chances, got
home a neck before Fire Alarm, the IA
yorite.
