We will not argue here whether
Patuxent should have been re-
moved from first money for
drifting out through the stretch.
But the Maryland rules which
permit officials and track own
ers to race their horses at the
State tracks are In bad taste
and are crying for a change.
Flanagan is not the only Off
cial who leases his horses to
other people to compete fol
purses and to be bet on by the
public. When a horse owned by
a president Of a track wins a big
race and there is any question
OF a foul. the public usually
questions the decision, even when
it is most fair and objective.
Maryland should hasten to gel
a law on the books which pre-,
vents any racing official or owner
Of a track from racing his horse;
at any Of the State tracks.
II such law had existed yes,

been spared the embarrassment

1t was foul" day in every
sense of the word in the sleet
and rain at Bowie yesterday
and the track still was buzzing
today about horse which was
not disqualified and one which
was.
Most conversations today CEN
tered on the horse Patuxent,
who became the official winner
of the second race yesterday
at s42.60 to complete a Sl92
daily double after surviving a
double claim of foul.
The other incident being dis
cussed occurred in the fifth race
when See Me Go, who crossed
the finish line first. was dis
qualified and placed fourth
after Jockey Bonnie Green, who
finished fourth with Briny Deep,
lodged an objection.
Benefiting chiefly by the re-
vised money positions was
Brady A.. the S3.40 favorite,
who jumped from second to first
through the disqualification, al
though not being involved di-
rectly. Briny Deep, who was
fouled. moved from fourth to
third. and Presented was lifted
from third to second money.
The stewards said that See Me
Go interferred with Briny Deep
near the eighth pole in the
stretch. See Me Go is owned by
Mrs. Patricia Haun of Baltimore
and trained by her husband. who
also works as an usher in the
Bowie grandstand.
Patuxent stirred up discussion
over the question of officials and
