Snapper" Garrison, Fa- nous Rider, Lost an Easy Victory for St. Carlo By Understanding Rivals
By JAMES J. CoRBETT

Snapper" Garrison was one of the most remarkable jockeys
 of all time; a wizard in the
 handling of young horses; a re-
 markable judge of pace; the
 greatest finisher in all the years
 that the turf game has lived. Yet once Garrison executed a "boner' that cost James R.
 Keene over $60,0OO, and lost hundreds of thousands for tn men who had backed the Gar rison mount.
 1t happened back in 1889.
 with the running of the famou'' futurity at the old Sheepshead
 Bay track. Garrison, wearing the Keene colors, was astride St. Carlo, and was opposed by a rather classy field which in- cluded Chaos, owned by w. l.. Scott.
 Garrison got St. Carlo away from the starting line with plenty of speed and very soon the keene horse was showing his heels to all his rivals. The farther
 he went the greater became his lead Ha ,,ac Iol oIa those who had backed St. Carlo began
 to start down to the bookie stalls to cash their tickets.
 Garrison looked behind, saw no horse
 really close to him, and began to check down St. Carlo. He was always a be- liever in running horse only fast
 enough to win not to burn up any more
 energy than was necessary.
 CHAOS PULLS UP Far back, at the half-mile mark, was Chaos. Caught in an early jam. the Scott horse was bumped repeatedly and thrown back But as the half mile mark was reached he got clear and then Chaos< started to burn up the track.
 A sixteenth from home Garrison was startled by wild yells fromvthe St Car To crowd. He turned back and saw Chaos laundering along in full flight. Realizing his danger. Garrison shook up Carlo and began to wield the whip vigorously in an effort to get the
 Keene horse back into his mightiest stride.
 But even as St Carlo responded, Chaos drew alongised, and together the two thoroughbreds tore along for home.
 with the Chaos crowd shrieking in frenzied joy, with the St. Carlo packers shrieking in something akin to despair. For Chaos was running at full speed, St. Carlo wasn't s<imming along as would have been possible if he hadn't been pulled down to jog.
 hundred yards from the finish line Chaos poked his neck in front and all the whipping and urging of Garrison, all the mighty leaping of St. Carlo
 couldn't change the order of things. Stride for stride, the pair raced on and at last swept over the line.
 Chaos won by neck. Chanos, an outsider. had gained the $63.675 purse that less than 90 seconds before seemed sn absolute certainty for St. Carlo Garrison gained undying fame and glory afterward, Garrison rode finishes so remarkably that the term "Garrison finish" was coined because of his work, But all the plaudits of after years couldn't quite take away from Snap per" the remorse that came whenever he thought of the day that he slowed down St. Carlo and lost a fortune for James R. Keene.
