Tracks Last Week.
Racine's Great Race-Gecrge Hearst Reported
as Disguised With His Luck and De-
sirous of Selling Out.
That special week of the year 1890, COM
mencing on June sd and closing on the
2Sth, Will ever be most memorable one
in turf annals.
FOUR RECORDS BROKEN.
In that period of time no less than four
records were broken. The new time marks
set up were not made in four, five or six
furlong scrambles over billiard-table in
cline tracks by speedy sprinters with post
age stamp weights up, in which the horse
first off virtually wins the race, but were
honestly raced for over distances by first
class animals with weights up and with the
best artists in the saddle.
NEW NoTCHEs.
The new records made are, Salvador, 122
pounds, one and quarter miles. in 2 :05
knocking off one and half seconds from
the mark set by Kingston last year. Next
came Flrenz, who, with III poundS;up, re-
duced the one and a half mile record made
by her last year Of 2:34 10 2:33, lessening
of one second
Racine comes next, and, carrying 10Y
pounds, runs mile in 1891, winning
easily and chipping off a quarter of second
from a mark that stood for thirteen years.
Again, Teuton went one and an eighth
miles and lowered Terra Cotta's time OF
l :53, the record made in 1888, to 1924.
Very fast time was also made at six fur
longs by Geraldine, 107, l 10, and by Strath-
meath, two-year-old. l 100 2-5.
These two last runs were made over the
FutuIity course at the Sheepshead Bay
track, which is said to be short.
A GENUINE CALIFORNIAN.
OF the above notwithstanding cracks
there is only one that is really representa-
tive California horse and this is Racine
Racine is born and bred Californian. He
is the property of Senator Stanford and is
by Bishop by Shannon. dam Bette Bishop
by Buckden. On the dams side Racine's
breeding is as follows: BY Fairy Rose by
Kisber, dam Hippolite by King Tom.
Racine was seen last year and this spring
on the local tracks, and when unopposed by
Flambeau, his stable companion, won all
he started in acceptance. Repeated large
offers have been made for the colt, which
have always been refused, as he is intended
for the stud at Palo Alto. His racing quail
ties for this season, however, have been let
10 the Undine stable, composed OF L. III.
Williams and Ira RGmSdell, who are now IL
Chicago with their horses.
FLAMBEAU AND RACINE.
AlthOuuh Rapinp iS now about n pOOd n
three-year-old as there is in training, Flam-
beau, in all the races they were run to-
gether, was always his master. Had Flam-
beau not unfortunately gone wrong early
this spring. after running all he started IN,
the handsome chestnut would have swept
the Eastern board. Had Flambeau kept
right he would have gone East to join the
Hearst stable, as his running qualities Tor
the year had been leased to that stable As,
however, Mat Allen, Hearsts trainer
would have had the handling of the colt
lie would of course have been so messed
about that his defeat would have been al
most certainty, so that perhaps 1t Is as
we'll that Flambeau went wrong and re-
tired with an unbeatcn record. Still, 1t
would have been great treat, II tiambeau
were in good hands, TO have seen he and
Racine meet with the strings of each. For
some reason or other both Racine ana
Flambeau, and most OF the other Palo
Alto horses, we're struck out OF their East
tiu tdli1 inns NtdI, anu al
that Racine can now start in are purses and
overweight handbags.
A TEST OF SUPREMACY.
While the Salvator-Tenny match will 90
on record as tine match of modern and, in
deed, OF all horse-racing times, what a CON
test for the three-y ear-old supremacy this
year race between Racine, Burlington,
Judge Morrow and Uncle Bob would make
Any Eastern track would be fully justified
in adding $4,000 TO a sweepstakes with
$1,000 entrance from these four, and better
or stronger attraction than such race
could not be arranged.
A BATTLE OF GIANTS.
1t will bring the Eastern, the Western
and the middle sections Of racing together
to contend for the supremacy. Not horse
man in America but would journey across
the continent to witness such battle Of the
giants. The idea may possibly commend
itself to some OF the big Eastern associations.
MORRIS LUCK CHANGES.
The Morris run of luck with their two
year-olds seems TO have had setback.
Russell, their whilom crack, has been again
defeated decisively during the week, and
their other twO-year-Olds have met the same
fate. They have, however, quite number
of good ones that have not teen out vet In
reserve, and as the first raced lots begin to
get stale the new material will be brought
into play. The Rose sta bic pulled off race
with Conrad during the week, and Fairy is
ABOUT que 10 WIN Hlen she comes out next.
ALLEN AN INCUBUS.
A recent telegram stated that George
Hearst, disguised with his bad luck IN
never winning a race with his large stable
Of well-bTed and good colts, had deter
mined to sell his entire string. Unless he
| decides to engage a new trainer in the place
| Of NJ at Allen and lets Hayward, who now
| is first jockey, go, such a determination
| would be a very wise one. Allen, as
trainer is a most successful failure He
| was tried by HaggD, Porter Ashe and
| other California owners and lost every race
| that he possibly could Hayward, at one
| time good jockey, is now too old and care
| full of himself to ever get first under the
| wire.
SHOULD MAKE CHANGE.
| II the stable changed both trainer and
| jockey the Hearst cOlOrS would flash past
| tile post first in many race. Unless the
| records are wrong only one Hearst candi-
| date trained by Allen has won this year
and that was Cleaning.
HEARsT's WESTERN STRING.
From the fact that Almont and Del Mar
| started in races al Chicago last week, it
looks as if the Western division of the
stable. handled on the Coast this spring by
| Billy jonathan, had been relieved from the
| Allen incubus and given chance to work
| independ emily of him. If this be so DON
athan will certainly win races at Chicago.
| GETTING READY TO TRoT.
In local circles the trotters are being pre-
| pared for the coming circuit, which opens
| at Los Angeles on August 4th. The stables
| at the Bay District Track are showing daily
| improvement. 1t is reported however.
| that the horses located there ale not being
| worked, for some reason or another over
| the track, and have to be exercised over the
| park roads. As the park speed-track is in
| a most deplOrable condition the mud hay-
