06 Horse Badng, 



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 Jockeys Falling Abreast Winning-posi. 



Oxford, August 22nd, 1732. — A Purse of 20 gs., 

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

 heats. 



Mr. Hornsby'sgrh John Trot. 3 12 1 

 Mr. Fry's b g Conqueror ..0212 

 Mr. Harvey's br h Merry Tom. 3 3 3 



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 

 I'ell his weight at least had passed the ending- 

 post.
