SACRAMENTO. April 80. Last nights
shower has not injured the Agricultural
Park Track in the least, in fact it was
benefit pecuniary to the society, for 1t saved
them the expense of watering it, 1t will be
in frSt-class order for tO-morrow's races.
All the society now wants is better attend
auce of the Sacramento public. 1t is in
applicable the apathy of the citizens here
when running races are on the tapis. Each
day good races have been given with the
best horses on the Coast as starters, and
yet the Sacramentans prefer to remain in
town than go out to the track. II the class
of races given here were up for decision
on any Eastern track the attendance would
be immense. 1t only costs % cents race
to witness the contests and with four views
it figures out just 81.
AN ARITHMETICAL CALCULATION.
The book-makers are losers on the meet
ing so far, as out of the eight races the ia
vorites may be said to have won in each
case. The only exception was the Sheridan,
run on the opening day. and then there
was but half a point difference between
him and Orc, the latter being priced at 81 so
and Sheridan at So. An arithmetical met
alician has made calculation of what SO
invested progressively on the favorites,
counting Sheridan as one, would have
Melted so far. 1t figures out quite well.
First day-Farrow, s to 10, SIS; Fairy, 8
to 5, $50 (the odd halves are omitted; Sher-
idan, to l, S12O; Muta, to 8, S216. Sec
ond day-Renfax, TO 3, 1914; AL Farrow,
s to ., $500; Captain AL s to 8, $3.50. This
Jumped on Racine at l to would figure out
S2412 winning on $40 starter. AT the
Blo0d-horse meeting the field was the pay
ing investment. Here it has been just the
reverse.
AN INTERESTING RACE FOR TOMORROW.
For tomorrow the feature of the bill of
fare is the Hall handicap, one and q quar-
ter miles, $50 added: Even with 125
pounds up, it looks as if Racine on his form
should win it. (The weights assigned were
published in to-day's CALL.) The question,
however, arises, if the Undine Stable. who
has leased the colts running qualities for the
Eastern campaign, would be benefited by
his starting and winning. 1t is stated that
Racine has been scratched out Of all his
Eastern engagements. If this be SO, all
that the stable can do with him East is in
and WIN Tomorrow, the Eastern handi-
cappers would be apt to weight
him down heavily, and while Ra-
cine is pounds and pounds ahead
u,
that Flambeau goes into retirement, il must
be remembered that we have not got out
side Of the two three-year-Old that is bet
ter than second-class. In the East, how
ever, the woods are full of them and Racine
Will meet different company when he faces
the flag across the mountains. In the in
terest both OF the horse and OF local racing
tO-morrow's handicap would be much more
entertaining if Racine was taken out OF it.
