WELDSHIP HOME FIRST,

Bet on Winning Horse After Race Is
Run at Pimlico.
Nv GEORGE q. MORRIS.


Pimlico Race Track. Nd. Nov. a.
Improved weather conditions were re-
sponsible for large crowd being on
hand at the. second day of the fall
fall meeting@of the Maryland Jockey
Club.
The Preliminary Steeplechase, the
second number, was the feature of the
card and resulted in a clever victory
for weldship, who led all the way to
win handily from Expectation and
Pebeto.
Jockey Kennedy had a narrow es-
cape from serious Injury when his
mount, Falmouth, made a bad landing
on the second turn Of the field.
Luckily for Kennedy he only received
q shaking up.
Burglar. at 10 to with Jockey
Mink in the saddle, won the initial
number from Life, while Billy oliver
was third.
Triple Crown repeated his good
race Of last Friday at Laurel when he
came home at the longest price of the
meeting.
Today he gaIloped home at to /
and easily defeated Queen of the Sea
and Greentree. The latter was sore
going to the post, but It is a question
II he could have beaten the winner.
Today under best conditions Filter
u
from Xylon. the imported colt, which
It is said $4,000 was paid for.
while Ninety Simplex was third.
Daddy's Choice ran one Of his dull and
listless races to finish beaten OF a
dozen lengths.
Charles Francis, who. it will be re-
membered, ran creditably in Cuba last
winter, came to the races today a
real fit horse and had no trouble in
,,vA, ~. ard
from Voluspa and Manslayer. Sara
toga, who was made a hot favorite,
ran absolutely last.
It would be well for the public II
the judges. who are said to be alert,
kept an eye on some of the rides
put up by several of the boys at the
course. 1t Is either a case of riding
in bad form or not riding at all The
latter would seem to be the case.
On the opening day after Lottery
had won the first race the ticket
sellers were still taking bets after the
numbers were hung up. and in one in
stance It Is said that a man bet hun
dreds at a smash. taking whatever
tickets he could get on the winner.
There must be something radically
wrong with the management IL such
glaring oversight on their part should
have happened, but today they were
closed at the proper moment. All
have heard of "first passing on a win
ner away from the race track. but
this is the first time since the Oldest
racegoer can recall where the public
were first-passed right on the course.
Many innocent players wagered on
a losing horse after the race was run.
and II the old adage holds good.
where you cannot win, you cannot

later were entitled to their money
back.
