Tenny Won’t Start in Big Sweepstakes as Owner Refuses
In Sin Yous July 122 the Brighton and Morris Park managers failed to secure a special sweepstakes after Ten ny’s owner declined to enter him. Other parties were ready, and Mr. Pulsifer’s concert was needed, but the horse’s owner refused. He may race later, but for now he has enough engagements. The plan ends hopes for a Swarback versus Denyereracks meeting. Brighton seeks another race to unite the parties, aiming to bring Racine in during his Saratoga trip if possible.
