Several horses that raced here yesterday kept slipping and paddling and ran as though they were on roller skates When the track here or any other clay track for that matter is firm or fast smooth plates are all right but when the going is slippery the officials in charge should be permitted to use some sort of discretion discretionAmong Among todays visitors at Havre de Orace was Xewtou
