THERE WAS A MISTAKE IN THE HORSE RACES, THE WINNING TICKETS WERE TORN

İzmir's spring horse races also started on Friday. In addition to the jogging trains that depart every twenty minutes, about thirty buses carry jogging enthusiasts to the Kızılçullu jogging area. Those who pour into the Eşrefpaşa-Paradiso road since morning enter the jogging area after a break or two between the vineyard and the garden. By an estimate, there are about ten thousand spectators on the running field. Among the audience in the tribune, foreigners, especially German and English women, attract the eyes with stylish sports toilets.

The first competition for English colts has started. Riding the famous Jockey Kamil, Can comes first by getting his friends to get their shoes off. Bora and Semiramis are second and third, following him. The race, which is reserved for four-year-old native, half-blood Arabian and pure-blood horses and mares, was the most interesting race of the day. At the start of the run, Zeybek, Mesut and Hakan, of the nine animals lined up, appeared in front and held their heads. Then Hakan and Alderviş struggled for exactly three hundred meters, and they tried to hit the finish, opening their distance. The breathing had stopped. Not even the slightest sound could be heard in the stands, in the field. Towards the end, he followed the two struggling animals like a shadow, dodging between the two animals and completed the target with an arrow speed and a chest difference. But how strange it was, it was written on the signboard next to the jury that Alceyla came first. Those who participated in the joint and double bet smashed their tickets in anger. Two minutes later, a tepdil (replacement) was made on the sign and Alderviş was counted first, Hakan second and Seda third.

The delay in the decision of the arbitral tribunal and the wrong decision had ensured that the bets worth hundreds of lira were destroyed and the tickets were torn. Torn tickets are searched everywhere; The people were objecting to the mentioned joint lodges in a bit of nervousness.

The inexperience of the first week and the strangeness of the animals misled almost all those who made a double bet. It is certain that larger parties will return in the next week's runs.
