COUSINLY LOVE
THERE is a song in a popular musical comedy, “Let Cousinly Love Continue."
A practical demonstration of this was exhibited at Hastings on Saturday, when C. Davis (on Masher) played upon the love of his cousin, N. Davis (Clarendon), and prevailed upon him to swap barrier positions. This was done, and it probably meant all the difference between winning and losing, for Masher only scrambled home by half a head. It cost C. Davis £5 by way of a fine to get the position he wanted, but it was probably worth it. It was probably something more than coincidence that it was an unforunate apprentice who was caught. Did the responsible officials notice the continuous cribbing at Avondale recently? The old hands were in their element, especially in the Avondale Stakes, when it was rampant. In the Avondale Stakes, many youngsters were so hopelessly drawn that it was absolute foolishness on the part of their owners to back them. Nevertheless, knowing the position, several riders cribbed in heartless fashion, doubtless through sheer force of habit. The girl who helped Ned Kelly had nothing on them!
