Shots Win at Jamaica

One Of the most deliberate and
brszen attempts to keep a horse from
nnishing second was witnessed during
the running Of the last race at Jamaica
yesterday, when Andy Schuttinger, one
OF the leading riders OF the country.
took up Vista in the last sixteenth and
kept the FLY out Of second place. Gen
orally there is mad rush for the
trains when the final race is run. but
Schattngers actions so incensed the
crowd that they rushed down 10 the
stand and booed the rider when he re-
turned TO the scales.

trouble was going to start, but the
presence Of SQUAD Of specals kept
the crowd in order. The stewards took
no action, but it is certain that unless
Schuttinger has some good excuse for
his easing up tactics he has ridden
his last race.
Another incident which put the
crowd in an ugly mood, came in the
third, in which Prince James, q well
backed second choice, was disqualified
for committing a foul, which happens
in every race run around the paddock
turn. In making the bend in front Of
the clubhouse, Prince James bumped
