Referring to the sensational Derby episode at Epsom last month, “Augur,” in the London Snorting Life, says■“'On all hands it is admitted that the. stewards could not have adopted any other. course than the very drastic one they pursued in disqualifying Craganour, who , was first past the post in the Derby, and their courageous, performance of a inqst unpleasant duty id recognised by all true sportsmen.. There is one point, however, on which general dissatisfaction is felt. Mr Bower, Ismay lias been deprived of the honour coveted by every owner of racehorses—an honour which hoqpiay strive for in vain for the remainder of his life—his trainer, Rohinsou, lias beqn similarly .penalised in his professional cAjiacity, and the multitude of-- CraganoiirV backersthroughout' the country—nay; indeed, .the whole" world— have lost their money. Thus everybody concerned -has suffered in; one way or another on account of Gragauour’s disqualification, with'- tho. 'exception of his jockey who has apparently escaped scotfrpe, without even a reprimand.”
