THE ALL-SEEING EYE

Trainers a^ Npt O^nd • -..''■ * ' ' ** " ' — "r'y Trainers and riders who happen to lose their licenses '-ace often heard to remark that they knew no reason why the privileges should be debarred them.

HOWEVER, iri the first place, there is usually some sound reason why they fall -four of the authorities. i thoug-h, the "heads" seldom pass the I true reasons on to the press and the I public/or, m many cases, to those actually deprived of following their calling.

Boiled down, those who come under the jail- seeing eye have their own remedy— do not break racing commandments and all willbe well. , ABOUf A LICENSE y TT is common talk In racing circled up^ •* north that a well-known trainer will be given little latitude m future.. The, general impression is that he has brought the whole trouble on himself. , There is little sympathy for anyone doing his brief if he happened to bring the blame on himself.
