Blind Racehorse

Touts & breeders, millionaires & jockeys froze with fear last week when Santrock, racehorse, crashed into the rail in a race at Jamaica, L. I. Santrock, blind in one eye, is dangerous. Bumping the rail he could not see, the horse pulled a blinker over the other eye. In total darkness he smashed terrified through the rail, turned somersaults, crashed through both rails on the backstretch. His jockey was thrown, badly bruised. Experts felt it lucky Santrock did not kill both himself and jockey.
