RIDER’S SUSPENSION PENALTY INCREASED [Per United Press Association.] WANGANUI, June 23. The suspension of W. Bowden, the rider of Riotous in the Grand Stand Steeplechase at Wanganui on June 5, has been increased by the Wanganui District Committee from one month to three months. INJURY TO MALA CASE CONTINUED Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright SYDNEY, June 23. The jockey, William Cook, giving evidence in the Mala case to-day, said he refused an offer to ride Talking in the last A.J.C. Derby, preferring Mala, which he regarded as a better horse, but it was just beaten in the last 100 yards. Cook added that while doing the preliminary before the Derby Mala moved a little short in front, although in his previous races nothing of that sorb had been noticed. When the barrier rose Shakespeare fell, interfering with Mala. The mishap to Mala on the morning of the Derby would, Cook thought, seriously affect his running in the Derby. Mala’s owner, Henry Russell, continued his evidence. He said Mala’s preparation for the Victoria Derby was interfered with by the tram mishap, while after the Melbourne Cup he was very sore. Consequently he took Mala back to New Zealand. “ The Great Northern Derby would have been a ‘ sitter ’ for Mala,” he said, “ but, as he was still sore, I turned him out. I think Mala is now completely recovered.” The case was adjourned. COMPENSATION MEETING Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright MELBOURNE, June 23.
