I think Pincay should get 30 Days on bread and water. You might be Able to do that in Cali fornia but it certainly does t go Standard penalty for a foul similar is seven Days suspension.

Padres3, expos Randy Jones. 11-11, combined Wilh continued on Page 23 enraged charging Hal Velasquez deliver ally Drew the foul by dropping behind affirmed along the rail and Ihnn moving up quickly. If that s the Way it s Gonna be. I Lynever run against him again Barrera should. They can gel another Trainer if icy want to run against him anymore. He had no business being on the record crowd of 50,122 had Antici paled another memorable Duel Between he iwo Colls who have met 10 times with affirmed holding a 7-3 Edge. But the Bat Lenever materialized and icy booed the participants when they uns addled in the win Ner s Circle. Lydar who was the second Choice behind affirmed in the wagering resumed $4,00 and $2.10, while affirmed paid $2.10for placing. There was no show wagering. I did not think there was enough Roo for Velasquez to get through said Pincay. He was going through a Blind spot i chose to slay on the rail and i saw Velasquez coming up on the inside of me. Ii was a borderline decision on the part of the stewards to take my number , who Rode Lydar to three frustrating second place finishes behind affirmed in the Kentucky Derby Preakness and Belmont was extremely agitate when he dismounted and said Only i did nol want to win it that Way. Please excuse me i m very upset right bold move Lydar s move was a bold one also unusual in thai Velasquez usually challenged affirmed from the outside. Lydar might have been Able to hand affirmed his first defeat in nine starts this year. Even after the incident he came Back and stayed close to make a competitive charge although hews not Able to Wear Down affirmed in the 11/4 mile race completed in 2 02."that s something you cannot put up with you if have these kind of Sai Veitch. He certainly had to pull himself up to a dead walk and that s not Good when you be running full Speed. That horse dropped in on him so Quick thai Lydar Shead actually brushed the Rump of affirmed. Tit Cauthen. Who injured his knee and of shoulder a week ago wednesday was watching the race from affirmed s Box j Wilh owners Lou and Patrice was named to replace him earlier in the week and Barrera had expressed Confidence in the Wesl coast rider because of his two victories on affirmed in the hol Lywood juvenile championship and the Santa Anita Handicap this affirmed not been disqualified the Winner s purse of would have boosted his earnings this season past Secretary Iel s single season Mark of $860,404.instead, the purse went to the Calumet Colt who has now earned $850,897 in win Ning 12 of his 20 starts. Lydar s Only defeats this year were to affirmed in the triple Crown and the Only other horse to defeat him was believe it inthe Remsen Al Belmont last year. The iwo Colts were invited along with1977 triple Crown Winner Seattle slew to participate in the Marlboro cup at Bel Mont on september 16, which would Mark their Lith meeting in the rivalry unparalleled in racing history. The thing that really upsets me about itis that the Chance of injury is great enough without something like that Veitch. Those things happen occasionally but nol in a situation like Connors Gullikson reach grand prix finals Stowe. I. A top seeded Jimmy Connors scored a 7 Victory Over Surah seeded Bob Utz and Tim gun so beat Eliol Teltscher 6-3. 6-4 in the semifinal matches of a grand prix Connors and Gullikson were to face each other in the final Sund Vutz was forced to retire after four games of the second set of match with Connors because of a Tendon pull in his right knee. Connors Hilling a Ball Oul of in stadium and arguing the line Call on the last Point of the lie breaker Wilh head Umpire George Parker managed to have the Point replayed Connors won the Point and the set in the other semifinal third seed Gullikson controlled the match his serve keeping tells her off balance. Gullikson had four service aces and won 18 Point with his serve. In the preliminary Roui. The 19-year-old Teltscher. Who has been a pro for just three months had knocked off iwo of of in top seeds.
