Thomas (Come Out of the Kitchen, Only 38) and George Middleton (The House of a Thousand Candles, Potty with a Past), husband of Fola La Follette (pioneer Lucy Stoner, daughter of the late Senator "Fighting Bob" La Follette).

As he eased past his rival Jockey Moler brought his riding-crop down upon the shoulders of Rival-Jockey Fisher. Though no jockey may be penalized if in the frenzy of the home stretch he thwacks his mount, he shall be punished if caught in the act of thwacking a competing jockey.
