GOD track Were the Dryers and Mr.. Pulsifer
90 :, meet salvador at those weightsl 1t certainly
lot So for the track is likely to be good and the
distance a mile and quarter, would suit all three
torses perfecty II is great pity that the Dryers
and Pulsifer have spoiled the public hopes of great
race between these three horses. But with Tenny
and Iongseet out think Salvador is likely to win,
in spite of the terrible blight which recent races have
shown covering the Haggn stable. 1t will be hard
hot race however, and the fight for place will be a
lively one Flood Tide who has been running well at
saratoga. may get second position TO salvador
The handcappers have done their work cum
nincly in the Carteret that the result
must be considered very doubtful, but
shall pin my faith to the hitherto Disappointing
Cyclone colt Of Mr. Wthers, and expect Burlington TO
run second. Probably his previous races havs done
the Cyclone colt good and at the comfortable weight
of lO7 pounds he should have a great chance.
Firenzi at l24 pounds is announced as a probable
starter IN the fifth race 1t may be all right TO run
the marc twice in one week at 124 pounds and two
aays after she was beaten off by Euus and Senorita
but most racing Will doubt it. Few owners or
trainers would think of giving the mare another race
so soon with so heavy weight. Mr.. Hasgin must
know that Il Firenz should win today after her ap
palling exhibition of the slows on Thursday there
will be inevitably great deal Of unpleasant talk, ana
one would suppose that he would not care TO pfoVohe
such talk unnecessarily. 1t is true Of course that
the track on Thursday in just the condition which
Firenzl detests most strongly, and the track today
will be probably much improved. But, all the same
Il would be unwiSe policy 10 start Frenz, even II she
wins
The first race. at five furlcngs. may 60 to Blue
Rock, with Orator second, although Tom HOOD Is
dangerous. / should suggest Yum Yum as the WIN
If all the Haggin horses bad not been DONG so
badly of late, and Yum Yum miserable race when
she last came out, on july T. but she VIII ScU '' 80"
as the Yum Yum of August. Lass, when she was fast
enough 10 run a dead heat with Kingston at Gravesend
As said above l prefer the chances OF the Cyclone
colt in the Carteret Handicap, and Burlington may
run second yet, the handicap is 50 good one, that
almost any Of the entries might win.
Defaulter may win the third race, and Dyer may
run second
Salvador undoubtedly short OF work and TOO
high I'm flesh when he ran third in the Omnibus Stakes
He ought to win the Jersey Handicap, and j. a. b.
may second. -
Connemara may win the ifth race if well ridden,
with Gallon second. i don't believe FiTenZi will run,
and doubt II she can win II she does run.
The last two races selling affairs
