MIAMI FEB. l4-It was only small service perhaps
but horse racing patrons here the Cold Coast are
exercised ruling by the Florida Attorney Generals
Once Henceforth certain pertinent information will be
withheld from the paying public because bookmakers
runners or legmen have long ears
The public address caller at Hialeah Park is a
knowledgeable veteran named Fred Caposea who has
proper carrying voice. At the end of race Mr. Capo-
Sela for has given the of the winning place
and show horses plus the Of the winning owner
breeder trainer jockey sire and dam Of the first steed
under the wire.
The Attorney Generals Office got to muing over this
courtesy few days ago and slapped ban on Mr. Capo-
sea on the theory that agents for bookakers hear
the voice OF Haleah from outside the track and that
they rush to telephone and pass the word to shfty
confederates at various gambling dens-presumably to
the detriment of customers wagering with bookies.
AS WE QUALIFIED, perhaps it is minor matter and
yet there may be significant undertones Racing people
take the ban indication restricting their
sport, which in Florida has more than its share of
restrictions.
They point out Q) that cash customers are entitled
to know promptly whether the tickets they clutch their
hot little hands worth keeping (2) whom offer up
thanks to as they race for the payo windows and 81

Florida is believed to be the only State where
results cannot be buletined to newspapers and news
services right after Baseball football and basket
ball not only are flashed but they broadcast and
teevised.
The racing people think they have legitimate beef
and maybe they have Especially If you bear in mind
that Mr. Caposella gave the prices when he
was permitted to exercise his larynx to the limit 1t is
to wonder of how much value quick knowledge Of
race result is to bookes If the payo figures held up
THE INTENTION THIS DAY was to tour the barn
area at Haieah and merely pay proper respects to
fourlegged friends. 1t certainly not intended to
develop into study Of dietecs but that how it turned
out after Mr. Everett Clay the guide pointed out horse
that ate dirt
"Aluyavs IN the track aatno n e,oD SbeA th. tors
This happens to be Fucker Up" Mr. Clay said. "She
was the champion Of 1857 and doesn't finish up the
track very often She just happens like bitter-bue
sod ROOTS dirt and all. She belongs to Mrs. Ada L.
Rice so it is not question Of austery but preference
Fucker Up and her sabemate Hoop Band bitterbue

Thus the talk toward diets Mr.. Clay was saying
that almost all horses addicted to andeon greens
ITS considered decacy in horse circles" he explained
ITS trucked In from the winter armlands around Lake
okeechobee. Brookmeade Stable buys hamper day
as treat for Encore and the rest Of its horses"
IT DEVELOPS THAT Mr. Clay has made a recent
study Of the eating habits of horses particularly
Hialeahs. Jim Norris (the IBC fight promoter) has

cob 1t is flown to him from Chicago" he revealed
"Bubfuz and Elixir loved whole oranges peeled Even
onions figure in horses well being. They tuck onions
in the Of stall underneath the hay to absorb
germs. Some horses will sn out the onions and MUNICH
on them"
The Irish, Clay reports. discovered during lean
World War days that potatoes interested horses

Clay added. This is when he lost his tourists, who
decided 1t might be elementary to drive up to
Cape Canaveral and listen to the Navy explain what
happened.
