Ges —_ ALL THE NEWS GIANTS PLAY IN ST. LOUIS. atten tn ttn emtn dnd tnagng-datetnae D> FLAT-FOOTED SYSTEM | MARS THE STARTS New Rule ere by the Jockey Clubl for Sending Horses Away from the Barrier Causes Great Dissatistaction/ Among the Rank The stewards of the Jockey Club dught to feel immensely pleased at the Jesults that have been attained through return to the flat-footed start. If they ould have seen the start in the race for maiden two-year-olds, at half a Inile, no doubt the wisdom of their ecision would have powerfully im- pressed them. There were fifteen starters in that Face. Six of the fifteen had absolutely no chante with the start they re- cetved. At least four of the others fhad very little chance, It 1s doubtful if any worse results could be obtained under the “walk-up” system of start- ing. The writer has no desire to put the blame for this start on Mr. Fitzger- ald, because it may have been that some of the voungsters were green and would not break from the barrier. But ft only shows the ill effects of the vacillating policy of the Jockey Club. The walk-up system of sfarting would never have been tried or adopted if Mr. Cassidy had not shown that tt could be done, and if he had not proven last fall that he could achieve wonderful results, If the system was a sucoess at that time, why no now? The same jockeys are riding, The same horses are racing. Bupposing that the Jockey Club, be- Neving that the walk-up system was the best way of stanting horses, should cause the jockeys to be assembled before a steward of the Jockey Club, empowered to speak with authority. Buppose this steward said to the ridere In the presence of the starters: What Might Be. “The Jockey'Club has decided that the walk-up system of starting is the best for all purposes of racing. Tho Jockey Club proposes to see that dis- cipline is enforced at the post, and nas decided to give the starter full author- (ty to fine or suspend. His decisiona of Racegoers, will be final. A boy who does not keep his horse in line will be warned. If he offends again he will be fined. For a second offense he shall be sus- pended, and if ho be a persistent wio- lator, his license shall be revoked for the balance of the season.” Does any one suppo@ "that the “walk- up" system would be a failure after a talk of this sort with the riders? Does any one suppose that a boy would—liks Bullman in the Metropoll- tan Handicap—persistently try to beat the gate, and duck under the barrier half a dozen times, if he knew that @ revocation of his license stared him In the face? Tho simple word of a starter should be sufficient at the post. He should not be compelled to curse or threaten or calole riders, ‘There should be just as much discipline among jockeys at the start of a race as there is in a troop ot army cavalry, And it Js all a ques- tion of” aut 3 and thats authority Mes with the Jockey Club, Competent observers declare that the starting in this country, as compared with that |. is the verlest farce. nd, riders help instead of harass the starter. They obey his slightest word. ‘Dhe starting of race- horses in this country Is a drivelling farce, simply because the Jockey Club will hot compel jockeys to obey the starters. Owners to Blame. Much of the blame of bad starting in this country may be put upon own- ers and trainers, ‘They say to their Jockeys: “You ‘get away with this horse. If you are fined I'll pay, sour fine. “If you are suspended, I'll get 4 fluence at work to have you rein. stated.” With these orders to set the author- My of the starter at naught, the boy to the Of chances. The other boys do not pr pose that this rider shall get nll the best of it, and they move when he moves. ‘The result is confusion and a bad start in nine cases out of ten. ‘The solution {s simple. Enforce obedience at the post, getitlemen of the Jockey Club, and there will be bet- ter sturts, less reviling of the starie and more satisfactton for every one.
