Domino proved himself to be the worthy
son of noble sire today by whining
the great Futurity stakes from q field
of nineteen competitors. He carried
the top weight, TOO. and was delayed at
the post nearly half an hour. Besides
this the track was heavy in spots, and it
was just the day for lightweight, but
he vanquished all of them, though one
of them, Galilee. gave him hard fight
for over furlong. and was only head
behind at the finish.
1t was the sixth of the Futurity Sc
rieS of races, and the best of any of
them. 1t was the richest, loo, for the
the gross value was $65,6G0. 1t was di-
vided as follows: S49.715 to Domino and
$4,000 to his breeder; S5,S33.S3 to Cali
lee, $500 to his breeder; S2,66667 TO
Dobbins and $1,000 to his breeder.
The fear that cyclone was due and
| might visit the track during the after
noon no doubt deferred many from GO
ing to the track. At all events, it was
the poorest Futurity of the lot. Eight
thousand would be liberal estimate of
the NUMBER Of people who saw the
that ever started in Futurity race.
Domino
was the public favorite, and, though
nearly every horse in the race was well
backed, he carried the bulk of the pub
lie money, and as much as to was
laid against his chances. Rey El Santa
Anita and DobbinS were the next best
liked and supported i'll the books.
There was no parade of the starters as
the day was waning ana it was ad-
vsable TO get them to post andaway
from it as quickly as possible. After
delay Of nearly half an hour at the post.
Rowe caught them all in motion like a
cavalry line, and down went the flag
and they were off. The ends closed in,
and the lot punched up in sort of
funnel shape. Then Dobbins coilided
with Hyderabad and knocked Overton.
his Jockey to the ground, but he was
not hurt seriously.
Taral took Domino to the front at
once and led at the first clump of trees
hotly pressed by Galilee, vino was run
ming like ghost. The others were
gathering at their heels like a drove of
wild horses. The race was particularly
between this pair. at the bend of the
track at the head of the home stretch
fialiee took the lead and D0bbins had
his head on line with Domino's
saddle girth. 1t looked des-
perate for the favorite for
moment. but the greatest jockey in
America was OH his back, and he began
riding him with all his power and skill.
Heel and whip were used to such ad-
vantage that in another moment Domino
began wearing his leader down, regain
ing his lost ground The instant he
poked his nose in front Of Gallilee
A Great Shout
went up. 1t was horse race, and
everybody realized it. In the last fur
keep Galilee in the van, but it was
Lilliputian against giant, and Taral
outrode both him and McDermott and
drove the gallant Domino home under
such hail of punishment that he won
by nose on the very post.
Griffin, by one last effort, landed
Galilee head before Dobbins. None
but the judges could tell who had won.
and when Domino's number was hoisted
on high, the most extrayagant kind of
demonstration ensued. Taral was
presented with 5000 by the Me ssrs
Keene.
AS Mr.. Keene wandered across the
grounds after the race, shaking hands
with his friends, he came across Mr..
Croker and Mr.. DWyer. Their greet
ing was most cordial and their c0ngrat-
ulations of the warmest.
II think DobbIus can beat Domino.
the same weights and race over again,
and would not mind betting so. 500 on
it," said Mr.. Dwyer. Mr.. keene eX-
prefsed his willingness to make a
match, but there was misunderstand-
ing as to the Jockeys, both parties eX-
pressing their preference for Taral.
Taral is under engagement with the
Keenes, and they could hardly be ex-
peeted to give him up.
1t would not be surprising should
they get together tomorrow, sign
articles and post the money.
