was the only surprise at The Meaoo"s
today. All the other purses went 10
short priced horses, two favorltes De
ing included in the list OF winners. The
stewards instituted an inquiry into
Afiptia-s reversal and learned that Wheh
the horse finished nowhere at snort ooos
:. few DAYS ago Roy Ofutt, his owner
had bet $500 on the horse Ihere was
no evidence that Ohutt profted by TO-
DAYS reversal, and the officials let II
80 with a warning that a repeuuon OF
the reversal would not De lO1e4 A'0N
from Ofutt's stable.
Center Shot failed TO run quite as
well as expected in the handicap fea-
4ure Of the card, and The Mist, which
mare is now at the height OF her form,
outlasted Walkers FLY in the hottest
kind OF a finish.
Confessor showed a flash Of his old
time form when he vanquished the
field in the opening race like breaking
sticks.
Force the winner Of the juvenile
event was one Of the carload Of horses
recently shipped here from Ne" 10TH
by Sam Hildreth.
Jockey J. Mcintyre was indefinitely
suspended for failure to persevere with
Varieties after getting off poorly with
that horse in the third race The judges
believed that the horse might have nm
sshed in the money had Mcintyre gone
right on with him.
John W. Schorr, the Memphis turf
