It sas: "The racing scandal came to a head today when the national hunt stewarda 'warned off' the turf the celebrated trainer, Colthwaite. and the noted jockey. Chndwiek. jthile it strongly recommended lumpy, who is a member of the fnmily which founded (he While Slar line, to look more closely into the running of his horses." The account says. "The cue arose out of tha suspieioua running of two of lsmay's hones, Jacobis ant) Bloodstone, both of which won races recently at long odds after poor exhibitions in previous races. The stewards aUo savagely censured cen-sured Mr. Ismay'ii manager, Ferguson, for gross lack of supervision, declaring his conduct open to grave suspicion. Colthwaite is a fine trainer who has turned out two grand national winners. He is well known for his chsrities. f'hadwick has been s leading jockey for several years. .T-cobis, .T-cobis, when he won on the occasion in question, carried a good many bets." England believes in exalting the horse and degrading the men who would make unjuat grafts out of him. In this country we aaaume th.t all men are innocent, hut we punish the hore. The result is that thoroughbred horses are becoming becom-ing very scarce in this country, with no diminution diminu-tion of cold blooded men. |
