Lucille Manette's phenomenal run
yesterday of mile and twenty
yards in l:42sl. defeating out
Imported Piccolo and the great
Yale 81, places her among the great
lilies of the year. despite the sneers and
iHvectives that correspondents have
seen fit 10 employ IN criticiSing the race
meeting of the Twin City Jockey club.
1t may be of interest TO note the fraction
time of this race. The half mile was
two and half seconds above the record,
but Tie record was made in q half mile
race. The half mile was made in 1913
the three-quarfers IN l 10: the mile If
1:4ll4. and the mile and twenty yards in
1:42%Z and Lucille MADE her run in the
quarter stretch.
PiccOlo had been the tip. He had
shown some wonderful bursts of speed,
and the talent picked him as sure
thing for the reason that judgment told
them that the great Yale ~. in his pres
ent form, was unable 10 give weights.
But the people who believed in Luz
ellie Manette were very largely in the
minority. else she would not have sold
at 10 l. Even Bonnie Byrd. who
hadn't Il ghost of a show, was better es-
teemed. Lucille was but little sold,
and Bonnie Byrd found lots of friends
al odds of 5to }, while Yale WAS feared
by every bOOkmaker in the betting
ring, and was held at s to 5. and Pic
colO'S odds were II TO 5 at the post. al
though better odds were offered earlier
in the course Of business. Lucille Won
III an electrical finish a head over Pic
colo, while Yale 81 pulled up and came
in a bad third.
1t was not favorite's day. although
Looking Backward forced to that proud
pinnacle by his friends, and Golda were
happy talent preferences. Ehe other
winners of the day were long shots,
namely Kildare who was a nominal
favorite, however, at odds of to 2:
Lucille Manette, at odds of S TO l;
Coronet, at odds of TO l, and Bret
Harte, at odds of 5 TO ,.
The Opening Dash
Expense was the choice for the first
race. His pedigree and performances
were thought TO place him far in ad-
vance of the others and he was heavily
backed al TO /, but Looking Backward
soon became the tip and he was backed
from 10 down to to 2, but lie closed
at TO ,. Ollie II was also backed
down. She started at 6 to l and went
to the post with TO l offered.
Looking Backward took the flag first,
and he CALAMITY showed the way with
little effort 10 the wire. Brown Idle ran
second most the distance. and at the
half he was really on even terms with
Looking Back ward. but the latter soon
after drew away and won as he pleased.
Annie House made a good run to show,
and she kept the third place to within
twenty yards of the finish. when tx
nense came with rush and displaced
her.
