  • Domino by Kathleen Jones
    Domino by Kathleen Jones Domino was an amazing phenomenon in the annals of American thoroughbred breeding. He exists in the pedigrees of perhaps half of the recent stakes winners in this country, yet that he appears in any is a miracle. But we are getting ahead of ourselves. Domino was dark brown colt with a peculiar coat which appeared to change color depending on in which light it was viewed. (The coat of Equipoise, Domino's great grandson, was similar in nature.) On cloudy days, his coat was dark as coal, yet in bright sunlight, people would swear they had seen a chestnut horse. He was known by several racing nicknames including "the brown phenomenon" and "the black whirlwind". He was foaled at Major Barak Thomas' Dixiana Farm, a son of the speedy Himyar, and the stakes producing mare Mannie Gray. He was his dam's ninth foal, and she had already produced the good runners TEN STRIKE (by Ten Broeck), BANDALA (by King Ban), and the great handicap mare CORRECTION (by Himyar) for whom the present-day Correction Handicap is named. Domino was a beautiful specimen of a horse, and Thomas sent him to the Tattersall's yearling sales with high expectations. For a sale in which the average selling price was $895, Domino fetched an eye-popping $3000 (the second top price of the sale). The new owner was Foxhall Keene. Keene placed the colt in the capable hands of African-American yearling-handler Albert Cooper, who broke and trained the young horses for the Keenes. The colt worked a quarter mile at Coney Island in such fast time that Cooper was certain his watch had malfunctioned.

  • Horse Painting and Racetrack Corruption in the Early Depression-Era War on Crime
    “A ringer was used to make the killing”: Horse Painting and Racetrack Corruption in the Early Depression-Era War on Crime Abstract: Peter Christian “Paddy” Barrie was a seasoned fraudster who transferred his horse doping and horse substitution skills from British to North American racetracks in the 1920s. His thoroughbred ringers were entered in elite races to guarantee winnings for syndicates and betting rings in the prohibition-era United States. This case study of a professional travelling criminal and the challenges he posed for the Pinkerton National Detective Agency in the early 1930s war on crime highlights both the importance of illegal betting to urban mobsters and the need for broader and more nuanced critiques of Depression-era organised crime activities and alliances. Key words: ringers, racetracks, conmen, Pinkertons, organised crime Horse “ringing” is the practice of running an experienced, faster, or older horse under the name of a younger or nondescript one, usually to take advantage of long betting odds. “King of the Ringers” Paddy Barrie boasted of ringing hundreds of thoroughbreds at racetracks across the United States, in Canada, and at Agua Caliente near Tijuana in the 1920s and early 1930s.1 Journalists agreed that criminal associates in America’s major cities made regular use of Barrie’s talents, while Pinkerton detectives charged that Barrie’s ringers earned millions of dollars for betting rings.2 The wider American public learned of his exploits following his most famous coup at Havre de Grace, Maryland’s premier racetrack, The original version of this paper was presented at the fifth British Crime Historians Symposium at the University of Edinburgh in October 2016.
