Toronto, Ont., September IS. The feature of todays racing at Woodbine was the riding of jockey Koerner. Out of four mounts the boy finished first three times. He rode Blue Buck in the mile and a furlong race and It was due to his horsemanship that his mount got the decision- Reservation, the favorite in this race, ran wide when nearlng home. The finish was close between Blue Buck, Cam-Bridge and Reservation, only the judges being in a position to decide. When the numbers were hoisted giving the race to Blue Buck a howl went up from Reservations backers. Koerner also won with Diamond, the even money favorite In the Epsom Handicap, the feature. Betting on this race, had proceeded about fifteen minutes when It was discovered that Diamond and Meddling Daisy were trained by the same man. Thereupon all bets were declared off and twenty minutes allowed for a new book and Diamond and Meddling Daisy were ordered coupled in the betting. Koerner, on Sir Ralph, outr rode Dealy on Wexford, the favorite in the fifth race, scoring his third victory of the day. With riders reversed the favorite would have won. Mr. Marshall put up a bad looking ride on Ballycastle, the heavily-backed favorite in the hunters" race for gentlemen riders. When Mr. Marshall returned to the stand he was subjected to considerable ridicule and abuse by some of those who had bet on his mount. The stewards recommended that -Mr. Marshall accept no more mounts here, deeming him incompetent. One favorite, four second choices and one outsider got the money today. Thirty -one books were hi line and did a rattling good business. Jockey Treubel will not ride here. Word was received this morning from Louisville to the effect that Treubels suspension is in force until September 20, on which date the meeting at Douglas Park will close. Gardiner Tyler fell in the first race and his rider, McLaughlin, sustained a badly split ear.
