CO Horse Eacing. 



In the first heat both jockeys fell, and the rider 

 of Bay Motte was so much hurt that he was unable 

 to mount again; but Lord Essex's groom being 

 near, immediately mounted the horse and saved 

 his distance. 



This is the first instance on record of a change 

 of jockeys in running. 



3. Both Jocksys Falling Abreast Winning-post. 



OXFORD, August 22nd, 1732. A Purse of 20 gs., 

 for any horse that never won 40 gs. ; 10 st. each ; 

 heats. 



Mr. Hornsby's gr h John Trot. 3121 

 Mr. Fry's b g Conqueror ..0212 

 Mr. Harvey's br h Merry Tom. 0333 



In running the third heat Conqueror and John 

 Trot fell just at or very near the ending-post, 

 which gave rise to a question whether either of 

 them had supported his weight past the post, or 

 whether the heat should be given to Merry Tom. 



The dispute was decided in favour of John Trot, 

 upon a person's making an affidavit that before he 

 fell his weight at least had passed the ending- 

 post.
