Then there is the question of the weights. As all you old horse players know the weight a horse carries is very important., But who'll be able to believe the weights at Agua Caliente on Sunday? Women just don't go around revealing their honest weights, photo finish? Is there any woman with insufficient vanity to think they're taking a picture of the horse she is riding and not of her? Once she realizes there is a possibility of having her picture taken at the finish line she will forget all about riding and spend the last sixteenth of a mile primping. The horse will have to get along the best he can as the gal jockey powders her nose, adjusts her cap more becomingly, and daubs on fresh lipstick. When she crosses the finish line she will be sitting straight up in the saddle giving the camera the old smile.
Don't be surprised if, after this race with the girl jockeys, you read such startling information as this:
"Miss Fifl Mahoney was suspended for 10 days by the stewards for throwing her compact at jockey Marie Dizzione while rounding the far turn."
"Miss Eunice Partsmart and Miss Doris Cluny were fined $100 each and set down for the remainder of the meeting because of gossiping on the backstretch during today's running of And what will happen in case of a the lassie stakes."—United Press.
