Jockey Mooney Is Lucky
Besides Jewel, Mannheim and Fern

the New York tracks during the sum-
mer joe was thrown clear and re-
esined his feet Immediately after hit

horse to fall. Then Mannheim, Fern
Grass and All Over also went down
in the order named. Jewel was run
ming back of Doughnut, which had
made all the pace, and was Tapped by
Mannheim and Flying Cloud, who was
on the outside
Although Willie Doyle, the patrol
Judge, stated that Jockey Marinelll on
Flying Cloud, bore over and caused the
accident. several horsemen held differ
ent views. The track is bad at that
point and some think Jewel stumbled
or crossed her legs.
After hearing the patrol Judge report
the stewards then disqualified Flying
Cloud, which is owned by Max Hirsch.
The stewards also will not permit
Marinelli to ride until they question
McNamss-
The disqualification placed Maryland
Belle first, Doughnut second and Clark
son. the only other horse to finish,
third Flying Cloud was running free
and easy on the outside the entire
tourney and it looked as If Marinelli
could have sent him to the front at the
first asking. Doughnut was all alone
in front, with Jewel and Mannheim
running almost side by side and Flying
Cloud on the outside of them.
The Marlboro Purse, the feature of
the card. resulted in victory for
Hobey Baker, which repeated it's fine
performance OF Wednesday and de-
feated Irish Dream by two lengths.
Fairway, an outsider, was third. The
start was bad and Rubidium. the
favorite. was pinched back at the out
set. finishing fifth.
Burgoyne, the choice Of the players,
led a feid of thirteen to the wire in
the opening race, Debating Pibroch by
almost a length. Medusa, we'll riden by
Jockey Taylor and which paid 6 to 1,
closed with rush and took the con-
ISOLATION place.
The longest shot of the meeting went
over in the sixth, when Kings Belle,
owned by F. W. Herold and piloted by
little Jockey Walls, landed first place
at so to l. This good thing went to the
front early and just lasted to, beat
Chinnie Walsh by head. Allah was
third and Courlis, the favorite, which
ran dull race. finished in the ruck.
