Fred aral, Jockey,
Strongly Endorses
tF1at Foot Start

VIENNA, Aug. &.-Fred Taral, the
premier jockey, says with regard to the
.'nat-footed" starting system that the
alert jockey has tremendous advan-
tage over his slower opponents. as he is
away and takes q good position before
they have their mount fairly in motion.
and they are then compelled TO lay in
behind or go the overland route.
IN short races the sluggish horse or
slow beginner mas no chance whatever
against a fast breaker, while with the
walk-up system they are all in motion.
and consequently their chances are more
equal
IN toe walSing-up system there IS also
very little chance OF a horse being LETT
at the post. while with the standing
start a horse is liable to swerve around
at the last moment thereby losing so
much ground that he may as well have
been left Wien a slow beginner has
an inside star number he is placed at
an immense disadvantage. as the quick
starters Will move over 10 the rail-. and
he Is safely pocketed for the rest Of the
Journey.
Il would prefer to ride always with
the fat-fOoted start. 1 said Taral. as
/ know that I have a decided advantage
over a good many riders who are slow

away well a horse must be kept con
tinually on nis toes. an5 this Is very
