Today was jockey Merglers birthday and he celebrated the occasion by resuming riding after a five-days suspension. Mergler was 21 years old today. The stewards ordered that jockey J. C. Mergler be suspended for the remainder of the meeting after he fulfills his mounts today. The suspension came about for his crossing over sharply on his rivals in the last race, in which he had the mount on Laddie Buck.
