GOOD THING BLOWS
4
Duncraggin Disqualified After
Winning Race at Marlboro.
JOCKEY HOLINESS FAULT
Ned Henderson Barred From Track
for Rough Riding on Steeple-
chaser Garterman.

The largest crowd of the meeting visited
the Marlboro track yesterday afternoon.
and those who braved the threatening
weather were well repaid for their jour-
ney, as it was the best days racing of
the meeting, and there were many close
finishes. The racing, however. was marred
In two events by rough riding, one of
which brought about a disqualification of
a horse and the other the suspension of
rider for the balance of the meeting.
The horse to be disqualified was the bot
tied UP good thing Duncraggin, winner
of the closing event, who had been
backed from 3 to 1 to to 8, but the
failure of his hackers to cash was brought
about by his rider. Holmes, who. just as
the break came, shot his mount across
to the inside rail, and in doing SO inter-
fered with every horse in the race to a
certain extent, as all Of the boys had to
pull up and Muff and Hedge Rose suf-
fered the most by the interference. Dun
craggin then went on and after leading
all the way had enough left at the end
to stall off the rush of Hedge Rose, and
win in a hard drive by half length,
and the performance of Hedge Rose
showed clearly that she was pounds the
best in the race. AS was expected, the
claims Of foul made by several of the
riders in the race was acted .Npon in
quick order and Duncraggin was disquali-
fled, so that the race was given to Hedge
Rose. with second money to Belle Mawr
and third to FL Bart. Naturally the back
erS or Duncraggin raised g. storm of
protest, but it d.d no good, but one young
man became SO bolSterUuS that he had to
be escorted to the gate.
The Prince Georges county steeple-
chase. in which Duffield. the favorlte.
was returned the winner, was the other
event that caused some trouble. Ned
Henderson, who rode Garterman, was the
rider set down for the balance Of the
meeting. After the start he sent his
mount into a long lead and until the last
Jump mad been cleared it looked as If
ne would make a runaway race of it.
Then Duftield set sail for him and caught
him at the head of the stretch. where
Henderson bumped Duttield several times,
but the last named got home first by
neck. and could have won further had his
rider wished.
The race in which officers Of the army
and navy rode proved an interesting con-
test. and kyrat, who opened the favorite
in the race, but receded in the betting,
led all the way and won by length and
a half.
Two-year-olds took part in the opening
event, which was a dash OF five and a
half furlongs, and Fanchette, who scored
Friday, also repeated in this event.
Marshland set a stiff pace to the head of
the stretch, where he made wide turn,
which permitted Fanchette to slip through
on the rail and she won in a hard drive
by half length.
Jockey Tohmy Burns and Premier
proved winning combination in the Sec
ond event. Premier. who was favorite for
the race, was off at the rear end Of the
bunch and in his effort to save ground
Burns ran his mount into pocket. But
at the far turn Premier found an opening
and he passed the pacemaker Semi Qua
yer with ease and in the run through the
stretch drew out and Won easily by four
lengths.
The fourth event was an easy victory
for Duke of Bridgewater. He ran in Sec
ond place, while Quality Street set the
pace to the far turn, then went to the
front and after a short tussle drew out to
win the race easily by length and
half, with Quality Street in the place.
