RIDING AT BELMONT
Mooney and Gantner Handicap
Captain AIcock and Night
Raider-Sande Rides Foul.
By HENRY ". KING.

Bad ruling marred the racing at the
Belmont Park track yesterday after
noon. Captain Aicoclx was beaten by
Bellsolar In the Centreport Handicap
In the run through the homestretch
Night Raider finished in the rucx in the
fifth race because he received circus
ride from q lad named C;antner. and
Modesty was beaten in the final event
because Evil, ridden by Sande, fouled
her all through the last furlong.
Moneys ride on Captain Alcock was
bad and Gantners was worse but neither
Of them was intentional or violated the
rules of the Jockey Club. With Sande
1t was different. This Jockey is IN
doubtediy the best in America, but since
he Joined the Sinclair-Hi ildreth forces he
has been doing more foul riding than all
the other Jockeys combined.
In the Suburban Handicap whils

down the hornestretch he allowed Evil 10
swerve over In front OF Modesty and
cause Zoeller to pull up. To almost all
racegoers. Including a host of hor semen.

his mount over in front Of Modesty to
shut her off. There Is a possible chance
that he was unable 10 prevent Evil from

both before and after he had knocked

Evil broke away from the barrier

home Modesty, which had been running
close to the pace. raced UP to the lead

fily at his side and allowed EVIL to
swerve and bit her. Modosty was
knocked out Of her stride but she right

again, but Evil came over In front of
her and TO prevent jumping on her heels
Zoeiler was compelled TO pull up Mod

lengths and the race. When Strengthened

She gained ground with every stride but
her efforts were in vain. Simpatice. be-

when Evil lost ground by swerving they
went In and beat her home, Simpatica

Capt Alcock should have scored easily
in the Ceiltreport. Bellsolar is a mighty
nice racing mare now. and with on even
break might have been returned the
winer even II Mooney had not made
a mistake. she was left at the post and
compelled 70 race around her field all
the way.
Capt. Alcock vert 10 the front in tEa
first quarter Of a mile and stepped along
at nice steady pace and a furlong
from home looked like an easy winner.
He was running strong, while all of his
opponents except Bellsolar. we're dizzy
With only a sixteenth OF o mile to &c
and with an advantage of three lengths
Mooney stopped riding. He didn't pull

help and the colt began TO hang. As ne

cunning ride by Callahan. came along
far on the outside and before Mooney
could set his mount going az fun speed
again Bellsolar stuck her neck In front
OF his mount and kept II there TO the
END.
