In mappings you must either escape the | or use <Bar>.

map <f9> :new\|:r #\|:1d
map <f9> :new<Bar>:r #<Bar>:1d

Otherwise, Vim sees this as:

map <F9> :new

Followed by a separate :r # command.

Actually, this is best written without the redundant : characters, and you will need to end command-line mode with <CR>:

map <f9> :new\|r #\|1d<CR>
