nY FAR the biggest uproar of the
X Santa Anita meeting was caused
~ Yesterday when the judges ordered
the number of Eonite, winner of the
first racee, taken down and Aquiline's
substituted. Lady Powell was given
the place and Arthur Hyman the show.
For his part in the so-called foul
Tommy Harty, who rode Eonite'' was
SUSPENDED for the remainder of the
meeting.
All this helped to make the crowd
sore. Aouiline is owned by the Pasa-
dena stable, of which ]. L. Holland
vice president of the Los Angeles Rae
ing association, is one of the proprle-
tors. That Holland felt a great inter-
est in the affair was shown when he
told Martin, his jockey, to claim foul.
With Holland in full view of the pa
CODA, the judges readily and hurriedly
granted Martins claim and awarded
the purse to Aquiline. Arthur Hyman,
the property Of President Lucky Bald
win of the association, was placed
third.
The foul-so called-consisted in the
fact that Harty kept Eonite close to
Aquiline all the way down the stretch,
and had Martin in such close quarters
that the latter could not get his mount
up. While it was foul according TO
a strict Interpretation OF the rules, 1t
happens every day in the year, but the
Judges have hitherto allowed 1t to pass.
The fact that Vice President Holland
and President Baldwin were interested
should have made no difference one way
or another.
Aside from the excitement occasioned
by the disqualification the days sport
was of an ordinary nature. one real
fayorite and two more that were on
even terms with the shortest priced
horse on the states managed to cop the
coin, and Schilling came to the
front to carry off the riding honors
with three winners. This toy's in-and-
out style should appeal to some one
some time. He ne IS attention.
Steel Beats Favorite
The Baby race was accounted for by
Steel, which trimmed Madeline Mus
grave, the lavorite, head Tor the
money. The } were close together
all the way, but Madeline was not quite
equal to the task o. catching Sch1lllng
mount. Colored Lady stayed in third
position from start to finish.
Charles Green had lots of early speed
in the mile race, which came third on
the program, but when it came to get
ting the coin Charlie Payne was the
kid, Burns worked him up until he was
fifth turning for home, and when LII
berto. Charles Green and Dulcinea be-
gan to run backward Charlie was
there to beat Dazzle half a length. cat
aline, the to favorite, was third.
Critic repeated his good race of few
days ago and beat a fair field in the
mile purse race. Sidney F. was second
and Ampedo third. Critic and Lisaro
were equal favorites at around 2R to l,
and at post time Sidney f. was calling
for strong support. Orilene made the
mace for six furlongs and then Critic
assumed command, winning under a
hand ride by the better part of two
lengths. Sidney F. began slowly and
was better than the others. Lisaro ran
one of his bad races.
County Clerk, Nadzu and Ellie an
went to the post on even terms, with
the former getting the big play. Inc
Clerk opened up big gap on his field
and lasted long enough to stall Off Or
monde's Right, which was on his good
behavior and furnished one of his old
time finishes. Nadzu retained what
was left.
Dominus Arvi figured to beat the four
good sprinters opposed to him in the
closing number, and won easily from
Botanist and Arklrta. Schilling kept
Doninus within striking distance of the
pace furnished by Fotanist, and when
ready went t. the front to beat Botan-
ist two and a half lengths. Arklirta
was in line for show money.
