BALIlMOhEs Md Ocl, at seems
pity that the excellent programs
which Pinlico is now offering should
be up against such beastly weather con-
dltions.
The card which Is up for decision this
afternoon would do credit to any track
in the country. but It VIII have 10 be
run of over a course deep il mud.
Yesterday the track was ankle deep and
sIushy. ana there viii probably be no
-hange for the better today. Owners OF
aluable horses do not care TO run their
racks over tracks like this, and the
consequence IS, the card is marred by
scratches. Trance and Statesman, two
Of the best -year-Ojds OF the season,
are cHrded 10 meet today and il Is
tough luck that they cannot have a
good track 10 run over.
The management is stu keeping up
The practice Of giving seven races a day
with q view 20 giving the norseman a
chance 10 get a little cat money for the
winter, which at present has a most
chilly prospect. When Pinlico closes
the rank and file Of the hoTsemen Will
hardly know where 90 turn. Most OF
them have not the wealth for a CALI
fornia campaign, New Orleans does not
hold out any very pleasing prospects,
and TO many OF the race track contin-
gent q srowball diet is looming up with
painful disunctness.
Plans for the Winter.
Some Of the horsepen here are con-
templating an invasion OF Cuba this
winter. The Havana Jockey Club viii
give siXty-dEy meeting al the Altman
oaFes track. and with thirty DAYS at
Tampa there may be something in sight
for the hungry hOueowners and train
ers. David Dunlop may ship his string
to havana and Johnny PangIe, Tom
MaDnix, and others here are thinking
seriously OF making the trip. T. W.
Gerhardy, the secretary Of the Havana
Jockey Club. viii be a Pimlico this
afternoon 70 explain matters and 70 re-
ceive applications for stable room at the
AlHandares track
1t is funny how easily the clever men
OF the race track go astray In two
cases yesterday they fen down badly
where. 10 a simple layman. the way
looked as clear as daylight. IN the first
race the wise chaps all fell % Dan De
Noyles. when. on form and dope. the
race looked a good thing for Brown
Tony. Monday, Brown Tony made Dan
De Noyles look like 30 cents. and there
was apparently no reason why Can
tain Mosby's colt should not do the
trick right over again But strangely
enough the talent plunged on Dan De
NOyles. and left Brown Tony 70 90 beg
ging at 10 I. And then. Just as form
indicated. Brown Tony came right back
and duplicated Mondays victory. while
Dan De Noyles was again among the
also rams.
Go Wrong on Progressing.
And then the talent did the same
foolish trick IN the second race. They
let Bedouln. a stake animal who had
shown his form by winning on the
opening day, get by, while they tum-
bled over themselves 20 get down on
Progressing. a very cheap platter, indeed,
just because some one had spread the
rumor that Bedouin could not run IN
the mud BedOuin. Of course. gall0ped
in and made Progressing look like a
duece- II Is 20 laugh
Mr. J o BTien. the gentleman steepie-
chase rider who had the mount on Ny
Grace In the Elkridge Hunt race, viii
not De seen IN the saddle any more
AT this meeting.
