Gold Dust, owned by the Twin City
stables. is a queen mare. She can run
half mile and beat out an ordinary
field without trouble. This she demon
strated yesterday in the heat race, but
she can t last, and after she did capture
a heat she was done for.
The half mile heat race, which came
fourth on the programme, was really
the most exciting thing dlshed up Tor
the daV. The first heat was so easy tor
Gold Dust that he became the rage and
no one else was thought to he in 1t by
the great majority. The more shreWd,
however. saw a good thing in Emmet.
and they backed up their Judgment with
their money in good amounts. Gold
Dust was hot fayOrite before the first
heat, as well. The odds were TO to
win and 3 to 5 for the place. Next
came Innocence. 2 TO l, and Secret 4 to
l. The Sthers were long shots. They
had no show to win, and the cunning
''boOkies'' knew it full well.
The field was sent from the post In
bad order, Gold Dust having long way
the best of it and Innocence the worst.
Gold Dust opened up a wide gap and
held it nearly TO the wire. winning by
length without the aid of the whip.
Secret got away second and Emmett
third. The latter has started nearly
every dav in the meeting, and, although
he is q pluckv animal, the son of Stock
well. he has been OutclasSed. He was
third. close behind Secret when he
came into the stretch, and he fOughthiS
way to second place before the wire
was passed. Gold Dust was the first
easily. Emmett second and Secret
third. Good Day and Jane ID were
dIstanced.
Gold Dust got another good start at
the drop of the flag i'll the second heat,
and he set a good pace down around the
turn and into the stretch. Emmett
came second all the way and Secret
third. while Innocence was fighting her
Sav up. Half way down the stretch
Gold Dust quit like mule and the race
was over. Emmett was first, Innocence
second and Secret third.
Then came the run of and there was
no betting on Emmett, the bOOkmakeTS
refusing all offers. Emmett led at the
start and came the distance under
strong pull. Gold Dust could scarcely
gallOp 10 the wire.
