Malloy stated that Ed Sanders was never near the

 one or two officers on guard as well as the stable

 that would interfere with her. The turf and civil 

 courts found that Elmer E. Smathers won the gold 

 cup and was entitled to the trophy. Both George W. 

 Spear and Ed Sanders were expelled from the turf, 

 their own statements being sufficient to bar them.
