No reason was given. The Jockey Club rarely, if ever, gives reasons for refusing licenses to jockeys or train- ers. has violated one of the rules of racing and is being punished. This 1s not the first time that Loftus has been, in hot water. His license withheld for more than a month last’ year and he went before the stewards 1h person to plead his case before he received his papers. Then, near the close of the Empire Citv meeting last summer, he was sus- pended for what the stewards con- red an unsatisfactory ride on Willis Sharpe Kilmer’s Sun Briar in the Mount Vernon Handicap which was won by Lucullite. He was cleared. however, after an investigation, Loftus carried off the riding honors in the East last year. He had the leg Np on the winner of practically every big stake, including Sir Barton in the Kentucky Derby and ‘The Preakness. He also rode Man o' War to his nine victories, which included The Hopeful Stakes and The Futurity. His ride on Man o' War in the San. ford Memorial at Saratoga Springs, tht ly ‘time the great two-year-old | was beaten, aroused much unfavorable com- ment at the time in that so experienced @ rider, who knew his mount so well should get away so badly and then run Into pockets twice in so small a field.
