ROUGH RIDING AT RANDWICK
SEVERAL HORSES INJURED ’ll P A —Bv Electric Telegrauh -Ooovriirht SYDNEY. 17th April. The A.J.C. meeting just concluded was marked by some of the roughest riding tactics in the history of local racing. Apart from what happened to Defaulter, other good horses received severe cuts and abrasions. Limulet was badly scarred. Cardinal Puff suffered a broken hind fetlock, but may be saved for the stud. Undue crowding at the barrier spoiled the prospects of many ! °avily-back-ed candidates. Even Ajax had a narrow escape and limped into the weighing enclosure with one shoe hanging by a nail and a severe cut on the other foot. The jockeys W. Cook and A. Podmore were suspended for two months for careless riding.
