Mustang Race Failure Reports and Blindness Raises Questions
In Year June 2 Parker failed in his second minuslang race after riding 216 miles. He retired to the Judge's stand for rest and the judge then ruled. Windy announced Parker kept going with minutes to spare. Spectators believed Parker was pushed into the ring after his blindness appeared to keep gate money flowing from New York trains. Parker's physician says Parker rode after being blinded to avoid harming Hand's prospects, though it harmed Parker's eyes to continue racing.
