Book excerpt: Excerpt from Breeder and Sportsman, Vol. 5: July 5, 1884 Gentlemen who won money on the decision given openly owned up that Agnews' Idle Girl had won the race fairly. Even the owner of Waterford, in the presence of a large crowd, said that the most he could expect would be to have it called a dead heat.. In the free-for-all trotting race, the first heat was won handily by Dodd's Thomas H. With some thing to spare - the fools called it a dead heat. Mr. Dodd very wisely withdrew his horse after making his protest, to which no attention was paid. A well-known business man who had been asked to make an application to join this high toned Jockey Club, withdrew the same after handing it in, and so ought all straightforward men do who wish to have horse racing done on the square. The Agricultural Show holds its second meeting on the 13th inst, and I predict a good deal of squealing at the awarding of prizes, as the judges selected on horses are with but one exception better judges of anything else.
