DISQUALIFY A DOPED HORSE

Mare Trained by Sam Hildreth Is Set Back by French Racing Stewards —Charge Denied. Sporting circles are agitated over the action of the stewards of Auteuil in disqualifying Camyre, a mare owned by Charles Kohler and trained "by Sam Hildreth, after she won the Prix de la Vallee. The authorities based their disqualification on a charge that Camyre had been drugged, and declared that traces of stimulants were found in the horse’s saliva. Similar action has been taken by the stewards in the cases of several other horses, and the authorities have announced their determination to stamp

out the "doping” of racers at Auteuil. Complaints against the practice have been unusually numerous this year. M. Monbel, one of the Frenchmen who Incurred the penalty of disqualification, has declared his Intention of taking the matter to the courts. When Hildreth was asked what he thought of the stewards’ verdict, he answered: “Camyre was in normal condition when she won the race.” When he was asked what he intends to do in the matter he was as noncommittal as before, contenting himself with saying: “What can be done against the decision of the stewards? Nothing at all.”
